SYMPTOMS
========

If you attempt to open the same file in two instances of Cardfile, or if two
network users try to access the same Cardfile over the network from Windows 3.1,
the following error message is displayed:

  Sharing Violation on Drive <x>.

where <x> is the drive letter where the file is located.

MORE INFORMATION
================

This error message does not display under Windows 3.0; however, the problem that
it indicates may still be present because Cardfile does not support file
sharing. In Windows 3.0, Cardfile may become corrupt if edited in two concurrent
Cardfile instances.

Windows 3.1 indicates the file corruption risk by displaying the above warning.

Additional query words: 3.1 3.10 share Novell
