And it does. It would require RemoteFileOpenAbility to be true. By
default it is false. It should NOT be set true for any database that
is not in ReadOnly mode, nor, as you pointed out, for a database that
you want to keep safe.

Having the database is on a share does not seem to be the problem.
Most people know not to do that. But it is a pretty common practice in
networks to place the client application software on a share and have
all the users run it from the same place. This is where things have
come unstuck for at least some of those reporting a similar problem.
