Hi guys,

thx in advance for any help or comments.

I'm using a Multi-user FM6 file and it's base on a share folder. I don't have any problem having 2 users connect at the same time withing our business network. Also I have sales rep who isn't base here at the office, they get access throught a VPN.

The problem is that FM6 refuse access to my sales rep using his VPN when it is already open by a in-house user. But he can open it when he's the first and only one! In that case, an in-house user don't have access when he's the host of the db.

Any help will be appreciate.

It sounds like you're sharing your database through OS file sharing. This is a very risky practice and will eventually lead to file corruption. You should be hosting files through FileMaker's built-in sharing ability, and make sure your files are not available in any shared volumes on your network. For the files to be available to remote users, one computer will always need to be hosting the solution. Remote users can then connect by selecting the host's IP address in the Open Remote dialog.
