Ebase is networked and able to get access, but we can't seem to get past the "single user" dialogue box in ebase. What are we doing wrong? Filemaker is letting us use multi-user but we can't share ebase simultaneously. Are we opening it wrong?

But I'll assume you already have an ethernet network in place and copies of FileMaker on both computers. You can't network without FileMaker. If so, you need to have a network protocol set up in Edit>Preferences>Application, usually TCP/IP, on both computers before you begin. All files should be set in File>Sharing to Multiuser. Open all the files on the host computer (your choice). You can do both steps by running the script on the Admin screens which opens all files and sets them to multiuser. This is because the second computer will be unable to open any file not already open on the host. On the guest computer, start FileMaker and click the Hosts button in the Open dialog. A new dialog should appear with the ebase data file listed. Open it. Note that it's very important to have backups of ALL your data (.100, .102 or .103 files) on removable media. The likelihood of needing them is increased over a network, because it is now 3 times as likely for something to crash (host computer, remote computer and network). Don't keep backups on the computer itself unless you rename or compress the files. If you have no network, you may need local help setting one up. Minimally, you'll need an ethernet card in each computer and a cable connecting them. More than 2 computers require a hub. Additional setup depends on the operating system of the computer.
