[X4U] Panther Server Logs

[Jens Selvig]

Thinking about this issue leads me to wonder. What if the server  
contains 'official' data that the organization doesn't want changed  
but wants employees to be able to use. Then working off the server  
would not be good since re-saving the files on the server would  
corrupt the original data.

Another scenario could be they are using Filemaker Pro files which  
are at risk of corruption when used when opened over a network  
connection without using the FMP server product.

JMT,

Jens
