FMS 10 on Vista, usable as a client?

[whoo-whoo]

Hi,

I've created a database file that needs to be accessed by three clients concurrently, and I own three computers of the PC variety. One has Vista Business installed and the other have Windows XP currently installed.... so.... the question is! Can I install FM Server 10 on the Vista machine and FM Pro 10 on the two XP machines, and access the database on all THREE machines simultaneously? Or would the Vista machine have troubles acting as papa and bambino... (and is this even possible, regardless of performance?) Thanks for any insight.

... You can host a file to upto 10 users (including the host) using FMPro without server.

Note the first item.

Look sharing up in the help.

If you actually need FMS for something else then no don't host it on vista. If you're happy to share from an FMPro client then vista shouldn't be an issue.

More importantly you cannot run FM Server and FM Client on the same machine at the same time.

More that you shouldn't not that you can't.

Oh man, this works great.
