The message you are getting appears to be a notification to the user that
the file they opened is being hosted by their workstation and not the
server. If data files are located on a dedicated server then hosting must be
turned off on the client machines. The manual states the following:
The server must be the only host for the company files. The server serves
data to other computers (clients) on the network.
Verify that only the server has multi-user hosting enabled. All clients must
have multi-user hosting disabled.
Note If you installed the Database Server only on a file server, you do not
need to
enable multi-user hosting on the server. However, you must make sure that
all clients have multi-user hosting disabled.
?? To verify that multi-user hosting is enabled on the server:
1 Start Enterprise Solutions on the server (the computer where the
company files are located).
2 Go to the File menu and click Utilities.
3 Verify that Stop Hosting Multi-User Access is displayed in the Utilities
menu.
If Host Multi-User Access is displayed in the Utilities menu, the
computer is not currently the host for the company files. Follow the
steps below.
a Click Host Multi-User Access.
b Click Yes when prompted to start multi-user access.
c Click Yes when prompted to close and reopen the company file.
To make sure that your clients have multi-user hosting turned off, follow
the procedure above on each client. Host Multi-User Access must be
displayed in the Utilities menu on each client.
