We have 3 networked iMacs running OS 9 and Palm Desktop 4.0. I would like to have all 3 have access to a single User Data file, which any could modify, so any changes to the office calendar would be immediately available to and consistent for all. All 3 components have read/write permissions.
When attempting to access the User Data file from one of the remote computers, a "File is busy." error comes up, although no programs are running on the main computer on which the User Data file resides. This seems to be owing to the Palm Desktop Backgrounder app., which I cannot seem to disable. We also tried having the remote computer open the User Data file on the main computer (without having the Palm Desktop installed on the remote computer), but this results in a Type 3 error. Has any member of the list encountered and conquered this problem, or otherwise have any other recommendations? TIA, Lor -- MacNetwork is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
