Hi, I am migrating to Mac from PC and am having issues. I have all my Sessions on USB drives that were created with the PC version. When I try to open a Session on the Mac from the PC data it tells me the db is locked I am opening the session directly from the USB drive and it works fine on the PC but not on the Mac. What am I doing wrong and what do I need to do?

Thanks in advance,
Bill

  How was the USB drive formatted. Mac supports R/W to ExFat and Fat, but only Readonly to NTFS. So if the USB drive is formatted as NTFS the Mac will only be able to read from the drive. So yes the session would be locked on the Mac.
  
  I do know that there are NTFS drivers for the Mac that have R/W ability. You may want to look into that.

  Thanks Robert, That did the trick! I downloaded a utility that cost about $20.00 and am up and running.
  
  Thanks again,
  Bill
