"File not found" when opening as client

[davieboy]

I'm using FileMaker 7 Pro on a Mac, two Macs to be specific.

I can open a database, named "Jobs" on the host computer just fine. I can open "Jobs" on a remote computer as the host (as the only one opening the database). If either computer attempts to open "Jobs" when the other computer has "Jobs" open already I get a "file not found" error. Network sharing is enabled and both users have full access priveledges.

Thanks in advance for any help!

Dave.

Are you attempting to open this thru the OS level file sharing? If so, you're getting the designed result.

From within FileMaker Pro on the guest computer, go to File--> Open-->Open remote. You should see the Jobs file show up there.

Unfortunately I am using File-->Open. When I try File-->Open Remote and enter the other mac's IP address I don't see any files. Typing in the file locations manually the machine doesn't find anything either.

Thanks,

Dave.

"Network Sharing" is On and "Don't display in Open Remote File dialog" is unchecked.
