Not sure exactly what you mean here? Do you mean it's being hosted by a copy of FMP
or FMP Server running on your file server, or is it that the ebase files reside in a
shared directory on your file server, and then opened via the network by whoever needs
to open the files?
If it's the latter, please understand that this is NOT a recommended way to share
Filemaker databases. Anytime you have the files in a shared directory, network
activity can potentially interrupt your connection to the files. This can happen in
many ways, and can sometimes result in blocked access, or even permanently corrupted
files. Filemaker files are notoriously unstable.
Better to either:
*If you have many users who use it a lot, get FMP Server
*If it's mostly one user with others using occasionally, put it on the HD of the most
frequent user, and let this user host others through regular FMP when needed.
That being said, other folks do set it up the way you're doing it. Just understand
that it's probably causing the problem you saw today and could cause worse.
