When you run Creative Writer or Fine Artist from a Macintosh server, you may receive an error message similar to the following:

The application program “Creative Writer 1.0” could not be opened, because it is in use.

To share the program(s) correctly, do the following:


 * 1) Select the MSKids folder on the server.
 * 2) From the File menu, choose Sharing.
 * 3) Turn on File Sharing if it is not currently on.
 * 4) Choose Share This Item And Its Contents.
 * 5) Select See Folders, See Files, and Make Changes for the appropriate users.

 * 9) From the File menu, choose Get Info.
 * 10) Choose Locked. Close the Get Info window.

After following these steps, the application(s) should be correctly shared and locked; multiple users may connect to the server and run the application(s).
