I thought I posted this earlier today but found nothing here.

Here it is again

I have 5 computers

2 stations are imacs

a 266imac which runs 5.5

400 imac which runs 5.0.

266 mt g3 with 768mb ram which is partitioned

first partition runs 9.2.2 runinng 5.0

second partition runs OS X using 5.5

400 pb firewire with 384mb ram running 5.5 with OS X and 9.2.2 on second partition with first partition running 9.2.2

266 mt g3 with 384mb ram which I use as the server for filemaker running 5.0

Everything was runinnig fine with OS 9.2.2 then I went to OS X on the power book for learning purposes and then the 266g3 that is not the server

I can open up the file first on the g3 running OS X, but get an -47 error busy if the server opens them up first. Everything still works ok running OS 9.2.2 but not OS X

Same story for the power book running 5.5 or 5.0 with OS X

I can not change over to OS X with this kind of problem going on.

I am also wondering if there is a conflict with having a 5.0 not running on one partition with the 5.5 on the other partition..... regarding licensing, but I am not running it ..........testing it out on the other partition to see what works.......even if there was a duplicate licensing........they are not running at the same time.......I just need to access one when the other isn't working to figure things out...... I understand the licensing delima, but nothing runs at the same time, I just may use one over the other for learning and trouble shooting. Also, I had no problems with the 5,5 and the 5.0 running on the network together...?...well, until I installed OS X

I hope this post

How are you opening the database being shared on the server from the OS X machine when you get the error? Are you using the Open Remote command in FileMaker or just mounting a network share and double clicking on the database?
