The following is copied from the Q&A user group website
<http://www.qaug.com/FAQ.htm> - hope it helps:
Is Q&A networkable?
All versions of Q&A are networkable on, for example, Windows
95/98, Novell, and Lantastic networks. All versions of Q&A will
also work on Windows NT networks with the following provisos:
All program and database files must reside on a 1.9G or smaller
FAT partition. If using Q&A for Windows, it must be installed
and/or run from Windows 95 or 98 workstations.
(It will not run properly on an NT Workstation.)
On peer-to-peer networks, the sharing mode for shared databases
must be set to "Allow" rather than "Automatic" (File / Design a
file / Secure a file / Declare Sharing Mode).
