I have a couple of files that are closed on FileMaker Server while they are being edited, but every time the server reboots, the files are re-opened, suddenly making them accessible by the users again.

What is causing this and how can I get the files to stay closed until I say? :

Thanks,

Joni

turn off the auto start under the General settings. I like to leave mine off anyway.

Geesh, John. You find me no matter where I post my topics on this site! :

Thanks, that did the trick. I wish FileMaker Server came with a manual...

If this is a literal statement of what is happening, this is not a good practice to be following.

Second, there is a manual that ships with the prodct. Look in the Documentation folder.
