Accessing runtime over a network

[printit]

I am using version 3 of the SDK binder so that I can have a multi user runtime solution.

When I bind the program on a PC it runs fine, but when I try to access the files over the network I get the error message

"Order Entry.pit is currentley in use and could not be opened. The file is single-user or the host could not be found on the network"

I copyed all the .dll files from the cd into the solution folder and that dident work:-(

Anyone have any iders.

Ron,

This may have nothing to do with your problem, but files copied from a CD are Read Only and it may be necessary to remove the Read Only attribute once they are on the Hard Drive.

Posssibly worth a try??

Hey Gary how's it going?

Thanks for the quick response, I check the .dll file and they where tagged as read only, but I still get this same message even after removing the read only attribute:-(

Hi Ron,

Don't know if this is too obvious... but did you set the files up as multi-user rather than single-user before you bound them ?

If not use sharing in the file menu to set them up as multiuser and rebind them and that might solve your problem.

Regards

Is "version 3 of the SDK binder" an older version of the "FileMaker Developer Tool 5.0v1" that comes with Developer 5?

Is there any way to make a multi-user runtime with version 5 ?

Yes and no.

You can host runtime v. 5 on FM server 5.

You cannot run standalone runtime v. 5 as multi-user.
