I use it at my work for some temperature data logging. One application logs in a file on the network, several other can display it. ( the idea was that you can watch that data at any place in the network ). It is written in Delphi. use "fileopen(filename,fmopenreadwrite or fmsharedenynone);" for the writer and use "fileopen(filename,fmopenread or fmsharedenynone);" for the reader. I'll have a look later at your original problem, though this might solve it already.
