I'm having an issue on my main computer I use. I've got a license for 4 computers. I work on a particular computer - I have 2 assistants that work on two other computers, and one laptop I use downstairs.
If I am logged onto a database with my main computer (my work computer), if I try to log on to the same database with my other computers I get the message "process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process" - I've attached the screenshot.
My other 3 computers (2 assistants and laptop), can all access a database, but my main computer (the one at my desk) can't get onto a database that the other 3 are on, nor can any of the other 3 get onto a database that the main computer is on. I'm sure its a setting somewhere I'm overlooking, but any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Yes, please show settings of "Connect to server" dialog for all problematic connections.

Here are the dialogue boxes I get on my computer when the other 3 are logged in properly (my computer gets this message and can't get onto the same database).

Re: Other Computers can't pull up database
"If I am logged onto a database with my main computer"- when you are logged, I suppose you are also logged via server (localhost), not via File-> Open database? SHow your main computer settings as well.

Re: Other Computers can't pull up database
Not exactly sure what you are wanting me to show you on my main computer settings.
What do you need a screenshot of? I'm not the most computer savy user - I'm running Windows XP on this computer.
Thanks for your guidance on this.

You say: "If I am logged onto a database with my main computer (my work computer), if I try to log on to the same database with my other computers I get the message"
I want screenshots for BOTH THESE computers of the top of EPIM window, like this: To do these screenshots, log into database one by one.

Yes, and now need screenshot from DOUG computer (which is your "main computer" as you call it, I think)
