Cood point. What I am trying to do is to allow multi user access to the file.<br />
I do not want an application to lock file, so other users can't read/write to the file.<br />
I guess there must be a simple solution to what I am trying to do. Right?<br />

Greetings, <br />
I am trying to get my database project started. Since I am building the multi-user database application I have know the best solution for allowing 2 or more users to write to the file. Is there a windows nt function that can do so? also can i partially lock a section of the file?<br />
Thank you.
