However, you should be able to have a server Rev application which talks to Rev client apps via IP. The client apps would be able to get and send information to the server app. It would be the responsibility of the server app to keep everything separate and organized and to provide feedback to other clients when there is a change on the server. This is exactly what a data base server does.
A good example of this is Tuviah's demo chat program which has the clients talking to the server.

I am interested in see what we can do without using an external multi-user dBase, sticking with Rev stack (s), as a data respository (s) on a server, with multi-user access.
Can a stack on a local station do something like
Send new card to stack "Vendors"
## which resides on a server, kind of like a single table in a SQL Dbase
put "Some vender Name" into fld "Vendor Name"
For this to happen, does the stack on the server have to be open? If so, then I guess there is no second user access for a write at that moment and if I am right, then this would not be doable? or is there a doable option other than storing all "records' as small text files and locking them on read and write.
The data is complex but limited, well within the limits, size-wise, of Rev to handle very efficiently. A super macho dBase is not really needed in terms of speed. Meanwhile Rev's tool box lends itself well to dealing with the complexity (especially if one only knows xTalk and is loath to get into a new learning curve) But multi-user access is an issue. What are our options?
