These symptoms would be consistent with your 
(accidentally) running the Btrieve client engine 
(not just the requester) on the OS/2 machine.  The 
client engines try to open the file in a sharing 
mode, but the NLM server Btrieve opens files in 
Deny Write mode.  To test if this is the case, 
unload Btrieve.nlm then try opening the file from 
your OS/2 machine -- if the file is opened 
successfully, then OS/2 machine is using the client 
engine.

Hope this helps,
