I think "it depends," based on how FileMaker notes what records are
locked. The file won't be locked by the host OS since, well, what would
be the point of having a DB that couldn't be shared?
If you're bent on FileMaker, you should consider the FM Server thing. It
supports record-level locking and handles concurrency better than a
shared-file database. That goes for Access, too: you should get a real
SQL server instead.
