Yes. When I installed multiple users on TB on an NT machine
with multiple users, I created a general account that holds
the main address book. All users can see that one, and TB
remembers it over sessions.
They can, however, create a private address book on the
side, for their eyes only, and put that one in *their* TB
directory which is not visible to the other users.

I'm actually afraid that TB might try to give User A address
book B (and then fail to find it, because it's in User B's
private directory). I haven't tried this, I must admit.

The only way to lock an address book is by putting it in a
private dir.
I tried what would happen if User A (on computer A) the
has the general address book open, while user B (on a
networked computer B, using the same copy of TB) opens the
address book too and adds and entry. User A won't see that
new address and can make his own changes. However, when he
restarts TB, he *will* see the changes made by User B, while
his own mutations are there too. Quite nifty.
