The program file must be designated as ‘read-only’ in order to allow multi-user access. This may be done through your network permissions controller; or, for Windows, in the Properties box for that file (last option on the right-click menu), make sure that the ‘Read-Only’ or ‘Archive’ box is checked; in Mac OS X, use the ‘Get Info’ box (File menu or middle of right-click/Control menu) to set the permissions to ‘Read Only’. NOTE: In Latina programs, this will apply to both the main program file (Latin Flash Drill 4.exe or Latin Vocab Drill 4.exe) and its subsidiary file (LFD4.dxr or LVD4.dxr).
