3.123. Record locked when converting an estimate to a job?

I get an error saying 'record locked' when trying to convert an estimate to a job. We have EstiMate networked but the person on the other computer is not using EstiMate. . .what do I do?

Try the following steps:
1. Shut down the software on both machines and reboot them.
2. Start up EstiMate on the host machine (main EstiMate computer where the data resides).
3. Start up EstiMate on the client machine (the other satellite computer)
4. Try again to convert your estimate into a job.

If this problem persists the next steps are:
1. On the *satellite* computer, click File > Network Setup.
2. Write down *exactly* what is in the path to data box.
3. Click OK (very important).
4. Go to the *host* computer.
5. Click File > Network Setup and verify that the exact same text is in the path to data box.
6. Click OK (very important).
7. Try again to convert your estimate into a job.
