Thanks very much for the response. This encourages me to keep looking for the OS X administrator settings that will allow this to work. >Be sure that filesharing to the files directly is not permitted. >While that won't prevent Host-Client sharing, you want to be sure >that the files are opened only by one copy of FileMaker, and that >multiple users access the database only via the hosting system.

I was hoping that was the case, although the FileMaker technote which specifies that FileMaker is not supported on that environment had me wondering. -- -- Dave Shaw H4 Consulting tel: 206-954-7526 fax: 206-625-1338 ------------------ Reminder to each recipient: To change your list account preferences, go to http://email.sparklist.com/scripts/lyris.pl?enter=support and enter the email address you used to subscribe to the ebase support list:: [email protected] To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- ebase - Relationship Management for Nonprofits, http://www.ebase.org ---------------------------------------------------------------------
