No, you shouldn't. You should use the address of the computer that
has the files plus the local path on that machine. For example:
SharedServer:D:\Databases\DB.FDB

Look here for more information.

And yes, the problem is file locking - having two different servers
working on the same database file at the same time is a quick road
to corruption.


Good luck,
