I cannot change the Multi-user Mode from �NO� to �YES�! Following are my basic information:
1. A4V8, 3 user, Downloaded, Build 02/06/03
2. A4V8 installed on 2 computers (upgraded from A4V7 single user), Windows 98 & Windows XP, Both use directory c:\A4V8
3. Data is on Windows 98 computer c:\a4data. This directory is mapped by Windows XP machine as drive z:\
4. After installation of alpha4v8, both computers can access all databases on 98 machine at the same time. Everything works fine. Then something happed; I do not what it was. Now only one computer can access the same database at same time.
5. Hit F3 key on XP machine, shows: File Sharing Mode: Shared; Net Work Type: NetBios; Licensed User: 3; A4V8.NET directory: C:\A4V8\.
6. Hit F3 key on 98 machine, shows: File Sharing Mode: Exclusive and Net Work Type, Licensed User, A4V8.NET director are all NOT showing.
This is what I did on Windows 98 machine:
1. Main Menu,
2. Select Other,
3. Configuration,
4. Default Settings,
5. Multi-user Mode, change from �NO� to �YES�,
6. Hit F10,
7. Show up �Warning: In order for multi-user mode changes to take effect you must quit now and restart the program.
8. Hit F10
9. Quit
10. Restart Alpha4, Multi-user mode still shows as �NO�, hit F3, File Sharing Mode still shows as �EXCLUSIVE�
11. Start from DOS prompt by type �a4 /2�, nothing changed, File Sharing Mode still show as �EXCLUSIVE�
12. In Windows Start Menu, Program, Alpha Four V8, select Increase User Count, shows �Total User: 3�
13. Delete A4V8 program, and reinstall, everything is the same.
14. Copy A4V8 program files from XP machine, everything is the same.
Please help me to set �Shared Mode�
