Good point. Can GnuCash work as a front end to a database that does record locking, such as MySQL? Otherwise, how would work done by multiple other users on their copies of the data be safely merged into a single master file?
It's clear, though, that GnuCash is designed mainly for single users. A company big enough to have multiple bookkeepers and accountants, needing access to the data at the same time, may need different software. -Mike On 12/3/20 16:23, Adrien Moteleone wrote: > > On 12/3/20 16:23, Adrien Moteleone wrote: > > GnuCash is currently not set up to be multi-user.
