We are running Maximizer Enterprise 8.0 SP1 with Hot Fix 2 and Pervasive 8 SP1 with Hot Fix 1 and I have a client who is trying to connect through a VPN connection.

He can browse to the Maximizer server and see the shared directories while connected but if he tries to open the database through Maximizer he keeps receiving “File is Currently in Use – Waiting for Access to File”.

Any ideas?

I had a same problem I had to change some registry setting to get it to work.
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Pervasive Software\Communications Requester\Version 8\Settings]
"TCP connect timeout"=dword:0000000f
"Supported protocols"="TCPIP"
"Runtime server"="Yes"
"Enable AutoReconnect"="No"
"Max Multiple Connections"=dword:00000000
"Log Statistics"="No"
"NumSatEntries"=dword:00000002
"SatEntry0"="Maximizer,2,4,0,1"
"SatEntry1"="Maximizer,0,4,3,1"

This worked for me.
