I received the following reply by e-mail:

=>Unfortunately, FileMaker and CAP are incompatible because CAP does not
=>support the Open/Deny modes that FileMaker requires to detect that a file
=>is open by another user.  So when two or more users attempt to open the
=>same file from a CAP server, the file usually becomes corrupted.
=>
=>The only safe way to use FileMaker with a file on a CAP server is to
=>allow only one user to access the file via CAP, and have other users
=>open the file through FileMakers network mechanism.
=>

The proposed solution is not acceptable, which leads me to ask whether
or not there is a work-around, or whether I need to go for  commercial
apple fileserver system like Ushare from IPT?  Any suggestions?
