Hi,

My application (using version 3.27) allows access to LAN files, and this
worked perfectly until I released a new version.
Now a user is telling me he can't access the remote databases.
Yet I changed nothing (to my knowledge) to the way remote databases are
accessed, and the "exclusive" option on the tables is unchecked.
I don't see what other applications might open them.

Any ideas?

regards,
Bernard Leprêtre

The "normal" reason for this is file permissions at the OS level

Roy is correct.  Have the user check the user rights for the directory where
the tables are stored and make sure that the user that is trying to access
them has the proper rights.
