[FX.php List] Strange occurrence w/ FMP8 databases

[William Downs]

Hi Bob,

I had this a few times in FMSA 7 on Mac 10. something -

There are two things to check - I am sure that you have already done
them though - one is "is the file being copied whilst being hosted" ?
and you could also ensure that the said machine does not have file
sharing running !

Apart from that - I can't think of anything else,

Hope that helps to refresh the parts other cups of tea can't reach
(sorry, it's late here)

Kind Regards,

William
