Sure, if you don't need a resource file. But if you want to use one and don't want to distribute it to each client, then the only way is to set it to read-only.

>Even better, get rid of the resource file entirely. RESOURCE=OFF in the CONFIG.FPW file is the best way. Short of that, SET RESOURCE OFF in the main.prg will work.

>>Do you use a shared resource file? If yes, make sure the resource file is marked as read-only. Otherwise, the first user will open the resource file exclusively.

>>>Hi folks - I am part way through my first major application and I have just begun testing it over our network. The problem occurrs after the first user has launched the exe. The app opens no problem. When a second user on a different workstation attempts the launch the app - it seems to take twice as long to respond and then a message appears "File Access Denied" - if this is ignored, the app launches and seems to run OK.
