David,
I think you will probably find that MapInfo is really going to leave the
multi-user stuff to other software and then just use and ODBC or OCI link to
that system. The Oracle 8i Spatial and MapInfo Spatial Extender Cartridge
(ie. SpatialWare) easily handles the multi-user stuff. Even an ODBC link to
an Access database for attribute data handles multi-user OK.

Wish List?
>From my perspective as a database geek, seems like the MI folk could use
some expensive consulting <grin> re: what is common practice among
multi-user applications. I appreciate that it would be "hard", especially
for the graphical (i.e., obj) parts of a layer, but it's important.
The multi-user issue is a big one for my firm, where we often have 3-4
engineers trying to work on maps, databases and hydraulic models during
project crunch times. We usually just make copies, and agree which one is
the "live" one. Too error prone for my taste, also it works only because
most people are just referencing the maps, not trying to update or add to
them by that point in the project.

Subject: SUM: MI How to handle multi-user in Mapbasic apps?
A couple of weeks ago I asked for advice on how to build in
multi-user user support for tables in a mapbasic application I'm
considering.

Unfortunately, there's few good answers.
