Ray, it happened again.
same file.

I have a girl entering data on Back_computer. One of the others tried to access the app (register) she was working on from Front_computer. The request was refused. She asked the girl with the app open (Back_computer) to retrieve the data. No Problem. The girl on Back_computer then went out of that App (register) to another app (lot owner), but when she tried to get back into the first app (register) it showed the little window and sliding bar, but then threw up a message that it couldn't open the app.
Now, none of the machines can open that app (register), and it shows as unlocked?
None of the machines were shut down during this proceedure, and the server is still fine, all other aps open.

We have never been able to access the same App at the same time, should we be able to?

C:\sesame\data\register.db Failed to open

Files sent.

What dates are on those files? When I did the backup, I first moved the old files into a directory called corrupt files.
Maybe I moved an earlier version, but that really doesn't make sense.
I'll check and see if there are two logs. They came from C:\sesame\data

Server line
C:\sesame\program\sesame.exe
Start in C:\sesame

Client line
C:\sesame\data\sesame.exe -client front_computer
start in C:\sesame

The server lines should be

C:\sesame\program\sesame.exe -server Center
Start in C:\Sesame

Every Client Icon should be exactly the same as the following

C:\Sesame\Program\sesame.exe -client Center
Start in C:\Sesame

Note these are both assuming that the computer named Center is the Server computer.

Once you change the icons start Sesame Server
Does it say 0 out of 3?
If so go start up one client at a time until you have three clients connected
Do they all start up?
Does the server say 3 out of 3?
On the first client open a DB file(anyone will do)
On the second client open the same DB file
Does it open?
On the third client open the same DB file as the other two computers have open.
Does it open?

The dates on the files are the dates of when I downloaded them from the e-mail.

I think the problem I was having with not getting the clients to open together, was due to a mental block on my part.
The sesame 'server' is of course software. I was thinking, of the machine as the server (hardware). This confusion resulted in a plethora of errors on my part.
I had sesame running without a client instruction on the machine that contained the server software. This may have meant that I had two sessions of Sesame open on the network at the same time. Two running through the server, and one stand alone.
That is not good I figure.
You might consider looking for a way to lock this ability out if possible.
Hopefully, all are now corrected.
3 of 3 running together in the same file! Thanks!

Did that second set of files I sent open for you?

In about an hour, she will have caught up to where she was at the time of the problem. No need for you to go further at this point.
Thanks for clearing that up.
