Hi Cheryl,
We've not had significant sharing problems with FileMaker in the 5 years my
employer has run it on our network of about 20 users. The server is WinNT,
but I'm running Mac OS9 on my desktop. We'll have the rare unexplained
crash, but most downtime we've experienced can be tracked to our network
administrator installing new system or antivirus software.
