Mmm
I might need a little more detail..
Which Versions of maximizer/ max exchange are you using?
Are you using client server btrieve?
The Record locked message ( if this is a message at the max exchange server)
is usually because there a document still open.
If you have c/s btrieve then use the server monitor to kill off any files/users still
open after the users log out. If you don't have client server btrieve.
CTRL + ALT+DEL all pcs and remove w32mkde from the task list it should then go away.
As you get a file in use message you may also have a problem with incorrect btrive
configuration (ie incorrect mode).
If you remove a site from the distribution list you need to process
packets before you re-add the site. But, since you have a problem with this the
above needs sorted out first.
Any crash during syncing is bad news I assume you mean this happeans at the workstation?
All in all it sounds like a file versions/conflicts type problem with
some other software.. and /or a not very clean maximizer installation.
