Rod,
You may be trying to reinvent the wheel here. MYOB has all that
functionality right out of the box, including multi user and cross
platform.
You will still need to think through and set up your specific business
processes within the system, but that will be a whole lot easier than
writing a database from scratch!

We do use MYOB on a PC (Premier) and have found that is not quite
suitable for what we want. We struggle now through using it, and are
developing a different system because of it. We have a specialised
business where we import raw castings from South Africa, then either
build them into a new unit, use the parts for repairs, or sell the
parts as spares. It becomes quite a complicated procedure to sell a
new unit in MYOB!
And rather than keeping all our eggs in one basket (and only having
one person in the business that can competently use MYOB), we decided
to look at a separate system for repair logging, and other small
tasks. At least we can customise the new program the way we want it!
Thanks for the idea John!

Rod!
