[AccessD] Multi-user Access db on NAS

One of my colleagues has set up a NAS server for a customer who is now complaining that the Access BE hosted on the NAS doesn’t allow multi-user access. The db can be accessed ok from each site separately, but when opened by another user the db doesn’t respond (no error message, just nothing happening when trying to open).

Some googling seems to indicate that the operating system on the NAS doesn’t support the file locking mechanism (I guess for the ldb file) that Access needs for multi-user usage and that the db has to be placed on a Windows machine.

Do any of you have experience with this? Any workaround?
