Windows 2000 - Service Pack 3

Some Windows 2000 users have reported problems opening a shared database from an AppleShare IIP server after installing Service Pack 3 . After starting Clients & Profits and selecting the database, this error appears " is in use elsewhere and cannot be shared" and they're prompted to open a different database. This error occurs if the database is already opened by other Clients & Profits users. Connecting from a Windows 2000 SP3 workstation to a Windows server works fine.

Hello, I installed the Win2000 Service Pack 3 upgrade last Friday. Our "My Clients and Profits" web server now exhibits the problem stated in the previous message.

If no other network client is connected to the database I can open from the MCaP server but then everyone else is locked out. So for now our MCaP server is dead in the water.

Help?

We have the same problem. Has anyone received help from C&P regarding this issue?

Has anyone had it resolved?

Will the upgrade to C&P 5 fix it?

Just a quick clarification. As stated above by our developer, the only known incompatibility with Windows 2000 Service Pack 3 is when using it under an AppleShare IP server.

Service Pack 3 is compatible with Clients & Profits, but not in that particular circumstance. There is no issue with service pack 3 under Windows-based servers.
