Whats interesting is that all our files here are stored on a Windows server, and everyone opens them up and shares them. Etc from their own machine. We have been doing this for years and years and have never had a problem. We were advised to take this route, rather than using Filemaker Server, from someone at Filemaker. It was less expensive, and it works great.
I just can't figure out why this other company can't do it.. Maybe it is because the file is not actually sitting on a server, but a client machine.
