To resolve this problem, increase the number of concurrent file range locks supported by the server. MORE INFORMATION ================ When multiple users attempt to access WinLogin's database, the following error messages may occur: Error opening the database Error initializing the database Error accessing Increasing the number of concurrent file range locks supported by the server solves this problem. Increasing the range locks is done through the 3Com Optimization program called "3OPT". This program is located in the 3Com server directory structure. Once you are in this program, one of the screens will be the "Byte Range Locks" for the different services. This is where the actual change needs to be done. A system administrator needs to know how this should be done as well as what to increase it to because there are different scenarios that will be dealt with, such as memory, services available, and so on.
