Yep. Your copy of the HyperCard application on the server is probably
only set to allow one user. Thus, the first user get's in o.k., but others
are rejected.

To fix this, you need ResEdit, and write access to the HyperCard application.
Launch ResEdit, move to the server volume, locate HyperCard and do a 'Get
Info' on it. The 'Shared' bit probably isn't set. Set it and close the
get info box to save the changes.

I hope this is of some help. Also, a couple of other ideas that I have
used that could be of help - 

 - You might want to set up some particular search paths in the Home stack 
   you are using, so HyperCard can find all it's relevant stacks on the 
   server. 

 - If you want to use a wide range of fonts with HyperCard, but you don't 
   have room on the floppies, remember you can always install them into 
   the HyperCard application itself! (Hold down the Option key when selecting 
   'Open' in Font/DA Mover).
