Sharing access to Office Applications (Database Daemon issues)   
Version: 2004
Operating System: Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger)
Processor: Power PC

We have two users using three networked computers (a desktop and two laptops). We need access to the User Data from all three computers.

To accomplish this need, the Office Identities Folder resides in the "Shared" User folder on the desktop with aliases in the Mac User/Documents/Microsoft_User_Data folders on all machines for both users pointing to that Identities Folder.

This arrangement has worked well for us with reasonable limitations until recently when the first user/machine to use any Office application will not release its hold on the database when applications are closed. We must now remember upon closing any Office application to use the Apple Activity Monitor to "quit" the Database Daemon on that user/machine so or access from another user/machine is not allowed.

Is there any setting that we can make to cause the closing of an Office application to automatically shut down the Database Daemon thereby allowing other access to the database?

Well if you set Entourage not to display notifications, the daemon
shouldn't be running all the time. That might be what you need.
