Subject Multi-Station Interbase

Hello community,

I am having a problem using an Interbase/Delphi application on
multiple work stations at the same time. Here is what happens:

I go into the application on one work station. No problem. Then I
attempt to go into the application on a second work station that is
sharing Interbase data. When the application reaches a Delphi "Post"
method, it simply "hangs" and goes no further. The moment I exit the
application at the first work station, the application continues to
execute at the second.

Here is an example of the line of code that causes this "hang up":

IBTable1.Post;

The application uses Delphi IBX components and specifically the
TIBTable component in this instance. It feels like the first
application somehow has exclusive "control" of the table and doesn't
release this control until I exit. This seems rather rude and
unfriendly (IMHO).

Any ideas?

Thanks.
