I am having a problem with the Multiuser capabilities of FoxBase+/Mac.
My database runs fine on a single machine or with read only operations
from multiple users.  However, the first user into a database has full
read/write capabilities (regardless of which user it is) while all
subsequent users accessing the db are restricted to read only access
(error message "cannot write to read only file").  Tops seems to be
working fine as the users can copy files to/from remote volumes
(published as Many Writers; mounted as Read/Write, HFS).

I have tried everything I could think of (set exclusive off, unlock all, 
shared bit set with Resedit, etc.) but with no success.

Specs:  
    DB Software: FoxBase+/Mac V2.0,  MFoxRun V2.0
System Software: Release 6.0.4
        Network: MacPluses & SE30 with LocalTalk and Tops (V2.0)

<<< ANY and all help GREATLY appreciated.  Thanks in advance >>>>
