I have always used a computer on the network to store documents that Sesame creates and accesses.

I map the drive from the users workstation as my S: drive and Sesame uses Sbasic for everyone to access the pdf or other type files that are needed.

Lately I have started to exceed windows XP arbitrary rule that only 10 connections are allowed per machine. I figure that limitation is so people will purchase server software rather than use XP.

So I now need to upgrade to something that is simple to use that allows me to map the machines drive so it will work the same as it does now with sesame  but allows me to exceed the 10 connections.

So I figure someone has done this already and am hoping for some suggestions on what software to upgrade to that will not be very difficult for me to get working.

Thanks

Rick thanks for the thoughts.

I have Sesame looking to see if documents exist for a patient every time a patient file is accessed and turning buttons red and green and making buttons visible or hidden  so it is constantly looking at the mapped drive with code like below.  It is also creating documents that are placed on the mapped drive very often so I think I need a method to allow more users.

I like the NAS method but will need to see if I can actually map to it the same way.

I guess I need to find out how complicated is it to run server software as opposed to regular windows?

Thanks again for helping!
