Has anyone had any experience with using a file with HyperCard over a 
network. What we would like to do is to be able to give a user
exclusive access to a file at any time from the point is has been
opened until it has been finished with. (Usually  less than 2 seconds).
Does anyone know of a way to 'lock' this file for use, or some form
of equivalent means that would suit our purposes.

Could you please reply either direct to me or post a message to this
group.

Thank you in advance
