eric.rktek Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 We just upgraded everyone to 12.5 and run into an issue related to warning users if someone else is in a file. We have one computer that I work on with a external hard drive that stores all our VW files. Everyone else is networked to this machine/external hard drive to access files. When I try to open a file that is open elsewhere with my computer, I get a read only warning, do I want to open up another copy? This is great, normal, and expected. When someone else tries to open up a file from another computer that I already have open on my machine, no warning is issued, and they can open it right up. This is a big problem. Is there a new setting in 12.5 that needs to be selected to stop this, or is this a new problem that needs to be fixed? Quote Link to comment

eric.rktek Posted September 20, 2006 Author Share Posted September 20, 2006 Katie, We are in a Mac/Windows environment, but we only run VW on Macs- no VW on the Windows machines. Quote Link to comment
Guest Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 What OS does the server run? Quote Link to comment
eric.rktek Posted September 23, 2006 Author Share Posted September 23, 2006 Katie, We use a regular mac G5 with an external hard drive attached. It has 10.4.7 system software installed. People just network to it to access files, no special server software is being used. Quote Link to comment
