Hi
It's quite rigth, that it will cause problems to let some users edit data
and others just se them at the same time, but we has shared our mapinfo
tables (among 50 users and with 600 Mb data and 9 Gb raster images) since
1993 without problems. The key is to have one copy (e.g. in one directory)
used only for editing and another (in another directory) used for viewing,
query, analyses etc.. The editing copy is copied to the aktive
viewing/analysis/query directory every night (and to our MapXsite Internet
server and to our download area).
