ClipArt Gallery 2.0: Can't Share Artgalry.cag Over Network

 Last reviewed: August 5, 1997
Article ID: Q136752
The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft ClipArt Gallery for Windows 95, version 2.0
  • Microsoft Publisher for Windows 95, version 3.0
  • Microsoft PowerPoint for Windows 95, version 7.0
  • Microsoft Office for Windows 95, version 7.0

SUMMARY

ClipArt Gallery 2.0 uses a file called Artgalry.cag to contain the thumbnails and descriptions of the separate pictures registered in the ClipArt Gallery. Each ClipArt Gallery 2.0 user must be able to modify a copy of Artgalry.cag. This means that you cannot put a single copy of Artgalry.cag on a network server for multiple users.

MORE INFORMATION

If you give Artgalry.cag a read-only attribute to allow multiple people to use it, you will receive the following error message when you try to start ClipArt Gallery: 

   The ClipArt Gallery cannot run because the database file has
   been marked read-only.

   Use File Manager or Explorer to locate ARTGALRY.CAG, and remove
   the read-only file property.
If you don't give Artgalry.cag a read-only attribute and more than one person tries to use ClipArt Gallery simultaneously, the second user receives the following message when they try to start ClipArt Gallery: 

   The ClipArt Gallery is already running
This behavior is by design. Even if ClipArt gallery could start with a read- only Artgalry.cag, many of its features would not work. It would be impossible to add, delete or move thumbnail images. It would also be impossible to change the descriptions of the pictures or the names of categories.
