Problem in a network environement.

[Flavio61]

I have a client/server installation of XL.

On the server I set XNet as server. I start the client and connect to the server and in the XNet windows of the client I see "Connected with the server", I try to add movies to the database manually nothing happens.

The database on the server is empty, it's possible to add movies from the client?

I try also to add the UNC path of the Movies in the general tab but nothing change.

Help-me please.

Do you have the movie database running on the server, you need that first and make sure you use a unc path for the files.

Then when the client connects it will take the database from the server. You'll steill need to refresh from the server though.

wath do you mean with "database running on the server"?

The database on the server is empty. I want to add movies from the client.

I dont think you can "and" share the database.

To add a database to the server press F2 and in th emovie section add the unc path to your movie collection ie
//server/films1
//server/films2

import the titles and xlobby will log them as a database. When the xnet client machine connects to the server at startup it will see the database on the server and pull it across.

Ok! This work fine.

But I want to add, edit and delete movies from the client and this is impossible on my installation. When, on the client, I select the movies database and I click on the "Edit" button nothing happen, this is the problem.
