The HyperCard 2.0 handbook says that on a network, a stack is accessible by two or more people at the same time, however, write capabilities are only given to the first person. I am having problems letting more than one person open a stack. Any clue as to how this can be remedied? Stacy Bell Hewlett-Packard, Vancouver division

In any case, this statement is not correct. If anyone has write capability to a stack, HyperCard 2.0 does not allow anyone else to open it. If you lock the stack from the Finder, then more than one person can open it at the same time -- and no one will have write capability. Kevin Calhoun HyperCard Engineer Apple Computer, Inc.

This is incorrect. If *anyone* has write access to a stack, all other users are prohibited from accessing the file. The only way for multiple users to have access is if the stack is locked, or in a folder that has no write permissions. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Steve Maller Disclaimer: Please don't tell anyone Software Commando you saw me here.
