NETWORK SUPPORT Phone Book 97 now has basic networking support. You can put a shared directory, from which users will be able to open the Phone Book database. If this directory is shared as read-only, then the user can only view the file, and saving will be prohibited. If the directory is shared as read/write (full control) then the user will be able to read and modify the database. The downside is that other users won't be notified that the phone book has been modified, it will be their job to regularly re-open the database themselves. 6.
