Actually yes on without Filemaker Server (this is a two employee
company so Filemaker server is not in the budget at the moment nor
required)  It's not crashing, I'm merely trying to set this up so
that if I inadvertently close it and leave, the database remains
available.  Logistically one computer is on one floor, one on
another.  I'm merely trying to protect myself from myself on closing
the file and then making it impossible for my wife (my other
employee....grin) from not being able to access the file.

Point taken on the crash scenario and thanks.
