Do I have any other options that don't require expensive DB's?
3 Months of development down the tubes. Guess I should have investigated sooner.

If you have any experience with sockets, I'd recommend creating a simple client/server abstraction. Write a few methods to get/set the data you need and have them go across the wire to the server instance (where the actual DB file is stored). The server instance can just process these requests one at a time, but quickly enough to allow many users to work simultaneously.

I've used this technique before with a different file-based system, and have had success with it.
