No.
MYOB creates a file "Lock0001.flk" on the single user version in the dir
the data file exists. If that file exists, you cant open another one.
There is however, a multi user version of MYOB (for of course a price tag).
By the way, MYOB has some dirs which hold the forms and other data.
If you dont put the entire MYOB tree on a server other people wont see the
updates of those files! And its a stupid heck of a backup too!
I have told MYOB to have those files at the same location as the data file,
they didnt find that idea good enough to implement, even when I told them that
I dont need a multi user license, there's only ONE person in the compnay
using MYOB and I want to have that done for EASY backup purposes.
(I dont backup my clients and why should I?)
I do not know how it is implemented in the multiuser version, so this
is a hint that you should be aware of this matter.
