Agreed that getting the multi-system issues sorted properly would be a good <br>
step. <br>
<br>
But when you have a remote (networked) collection, there's a very good chance <br>
that it will be accessed from different terminals (and not just through <br>
different OSes). And *that* means you'll get concurrent access sooner or <br>
later.<br>
<br>
>From what I gathered here, concurrent access to the database is *not* <br>
supported yet. Result: sooner or later you will get database corruption. With <br>
all the headaches that causes.<br>
<br>
So, until that kind of issues are dealt with, it might not be the best of <br>
ideas to make multi-system access too easy (and noting the caveats in the <br>
configuration dialog isn't enough, in practice).<br>
