Make sure that the share not has been setup to only allow one user to
connect to it at a time

have multiple users connecting to the same tables on a shared drive.
We had no problem with this.
We have since moved through v7.5, 7.8, and are presently on
8.0.
Try the following while remaining out of
MapInfo:
See if all of your users can connect to the share and see
the files through file manager. If so then your users have at least
Read rights and there is no NTFS, Share or machine level access
issue.
Try the following while inside of MapInfo as just one
user: See if one of those users can open and edit a table in
MapInfo and save it. If so, your users have full access to modify the
tables from a security standpoint(NTFS, Share or machine level
access).
If you have gotten this far then, the problem is perhaps in
MapInfo.
This leads me to believe that perhaps you are
having some sort of multiversion MapInfo table access issue. Perhaps one
version(v7) sees the tables being "held" by another application(in this case
just another version(v6) of MI) and will not let it open the tables even
though you may not be editing in v6.
In MapInfo,try having "like
versions" open the tables and see what your results are. Preferably the
latest version(7.0 and up) you have multiples of.
Also in MapInfo, try opening the tables in MapInfo's Read
Only mode and see if multiple users can open tables. Again, preferably the
latest version you have multiples of.
From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Doug Wassmer Sent: Thursday, May 04, 2006 1:23 PM To: MapInfo-L@lists.directionsmag.com Subject: [MI-L] MI Networking Problems Hi List:
I am having trouble sharing MapInfo files over a local area network. The tab files reside in 3 separate folders on a RAID server which is part of a domain. Users log onto the domain at startup, and then open MapInfo v 6, 7, or 7.5. The properties of three folders and their contents are set so that everyone has full control for both sharing and security. Most who log on to the LAN are not in the administrators group, but are in the power users group. However, the users have full administrative privileges when logged on the local machine instead of on the LAN.
It appears that only one user at a time can access the files on the server. Is this to be expected? It there a work around so that many can use the files simultaneously but only one at a time can modify a file?
Users are unable to print the map window via the print commands. This may be a serious problem because the printed outputs of map windows are important to operations.
If anyone has any suggestions on networking and sharing tab files, I would appreciate a response. Thanks
