opening file as client in host computer

Used to have peer-to-peer using FM8 Adv. Now, trying out FMServer 8. Is it possible to open files in the same computer where server 8 is running and hosting the same files you want to open as a client? I opened a file hosted by the server using FM8 adv in the same pc but I get an error saying that the file is already being shared by a filemaker program or something like that. BUT, it will still proceed to open the file. I don't know if that will screw it up.

[color:red]Do not open the files on the server in this manner while they are being hosted. This is a particularly bad idea. You can close the files via the SAT Tool and then stop the FileMaker Server service via the Sat Tool and then--and only then--safely open the files with FileMaker Pro from the Server CPU.
