NotesSQL File Server error

[RobertP]

I can use NotesSQL fine against a Notes DB on my machine but when I connect to a remote server I get :
[Lotus][ODBC Lotus Notes]This database is currently being used by someone else. In order to share a Notes database, all users must use a Notes Server instead of a File Server.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Rob.

It turns out this problem was caused by not using the Lotus Notes server in the connection string (despite the fact that it isn't in the Lotus examples!). This had the effect of trying to open the file rather than accessing the data via notes and thus a file sharing style error occurred.
