We're running a copy of FileMaker Pro Server 7 on a dedicated machine,
and we all access it via the network here. My question is that of a

FM7 & 8 WIN
If (according to FM HELP) net can share 5 concurrent and web can share 5
concurrent, does that mean 5 each (10 users) or 5 total regardless of

I have a reasonably large and complex FMP 8 voter database, and each
person's address info has a 1-character tag associated with it denoting
one of 4 "active" states. However, searching on this field (by itself
or as part of a more complex request) makes the search take ages to
