Release Notes for HammerSoft Address Book Version 1.0
=====================================================

If you are having trouble accessing any data files,
keep the following in mind:

1) If your data file is on a local drive you MUST
   load SHARE.EXE to access the data.  This is a 
   requirement of the Microsoft Access Database
   engine.

2) If your file is on a network drive, you do NOT
   need to load SHARE.  In fact, due to problems
   that SHARE encounters with the Novell Netware
   drivers, it is a good idea NOT to load share 
   when accessing files residing on a network.
   What can happen if you do have share running
   while accessing data on the network is that SHARE
   will not release its locks on the file, causing
   you to get error messages about share after 
   you have made changes or additions several times.
   The only way to recover from this is to reboot 
   your machine.

3) If you have both a network and store your data
   on a local drive, you WILL have problems.  It
   may help to set the SHARE.EXE line in your
   autoexec.bat file to C:\DOS\SHARE.EXE /L:500 or
   higher. This way share has more locks available
   to it and may not run out of them. If you do a lot
   of changes or new entries to your database with 
   both share and Novell drivers loaded though, expect
   at least some problems with file locking.
