Viewing Files Opened with Access Connect

The Files Opened by Macintosh Users dialog box displays files currently in use. Macintosh users may open the data or resource fork of a file. To view the Files Opened by Macintosh Users dialog box, click the Files button on the Access Connect Administrator dialog box.

The dialog refreshes itself as new files are used by the Macintosh Users.

The dialog box lists the following information about each file being used:

• User - the name of the Macintosh user using the file.
• Address - the IP Address from which the user is connected.
• Path - the name of the file being used.
• Fork - the fork being accessed by the user—either the Resource or Data fork.
• Access - access information (for example, read access or write access).
• Locks - a count for the number of locked sections on a file if a user has locked portions of that file for exclusive access, which happens often for database programs.

Note: You should use caution when closing a file this way because a user may experience data loss and possibly a crash. Instead, disconnect a user using the Users dialog box; this automatically closes all files opened by that user
