Opening data file input-output shared on a network

[kenngough]

What options are used to open a data file,. shared across the network, that can be area protected and updated. I am getting sharing violations when the second user opens the file from a nother network node.  Thanks.

Both applications attempting to open the file..i'm assuming with CreateFile, should work fine
so long as they use FILE_SHARE_READ.
would that work?

probably too late now.. :)
