Hi Dave,
Thanks for your reply. I do have Filemaker 5 on my server and I do open up
ebase.103 on my server as well. I think that the problem that I'm having is
that when I connect to the host (my server) from one of my desktop
computers, ebase.103 is not even an option to be opened. I'm wondering if
this has anything to do with my not being able to set ebase.103 with
multiuser access. Or am I completely off and is there's a whole other trick
to getting ebase to work on a network?
Thanks in advance.
Monica

I presume you have either FileMaker or FileMaker Server on your
server and are first opening ebase on the server using one of these
applications. And, if you are using version 102, that you have
converted the files to the FileMaker version 5 format.

You should start by opening the file ebase.102 (or .103 if you are
using the new version). Note that this is not ebase (ebase.exe on
Windows), the runtime application. Since you will be using FileMaker,
you can discard the runtime application.
