========================================================================

We are using Dbase IV on an entry-level Novell network. One amchine is
being used as a file-server, a second one as a workstation. Our problem is 
as follows:

	When we USE FILENAME EXCLUSIVE on the workstation, a user on
	the file-server trying to access FILENAME, quite properly 
 	receives a message that it is in use by another user.

	However, when we USE FILENAME EXCLUSIVE on the file-server,
	a user trying to access FILENAME on the workstation gets the
	message FILE NOT FOUND 

	We do not understand why this is happening - nor how to fix it ?

	If anyone has had experience of this phenomenon and has found a
	fix (or if anyone can work it out from first principles) we
	would be very grateful to hear from them.
