Problem with fm5.0 when open a share files

[fakokay]

Got a serious problem when using 5.0 with share files on network (several fm5.0 install using the sames files)

When trying to open the main file there's the error : "File may cause a general protection fault"... It's happen on each computers but not at the same time... One day it's the computer #2, another is #6...

It'S never happen before with the same computers! Is there anybody here have an idea what is the meaning of this problem?

Thank for all your help!

We're using Windows2000, latest update...

Have you updated FileMaker to 5.0v3 as previous revisions had some Windows 2k issues. Also it sounds like you are sharing the file if so are you running a FileMaker Pro Server or just have the files on a regular file server and having the clients click on them, or are you having one person open them and then everyone else uses open hosts to open them on their own machine.

yeah, it'S reminded me that several machine had version 5.0v1, other had v3...

Also, the way my program work is that i don't have a filemaker server. The files are the a share folder somewhere in the network and the machine call the files. So the first one is the Host is i understand well... Okay, i'll upgrade to v3 on each machine... will see if that's work!

Also have another kind of problem when i'm printing a model. the model is a 7 pages long and my script call the page and print all the page in one time. The problem is very strange it's printing the content of page 5 over the page2 at the same time! Also, some pages are left blank... did the version3 will resolve this problem?

Thank for all your help!

You might want to read http://www.polytrope.com/extra/support/sharing_without_server.html on sharing FileMaker files without a server. Also the manual.
