Peter, with Bento 3 you can share libraries. These shared libraries
are only available across the network if the 'owner' is logon and has
Bento active.
I always follow what you have said when a staff member leaves.
Yes I can Export the shared libraries.
An option is to create a virtual staff member and store the shared
libraries in that logon and logon to this at the beginning of the day.

However if the staff member who created the library leaves and you
delete his/her logon you leave the libraries. What this staff
member can do is Export the libraries in Numbers and some one else
can then import them.
If that person leaves the same issues.
Can you therefore save shared Bento libraries on a network and they
remain on the network irrespective of who comes or goes?

What options did you choose when you deleted their account? If you
chose to delete the account but keep the contents, you should those
contents in a Disk Image in the Users folder on that computer. If
you chose the other option, to delete the account plus its contents,
it's gone.
Please remember that as a business owner, the files on any of your
computers are your property and your responsibility. Deleting
accounts without assuring their contents are retained in some form
is very dangerous. Was your staff member backing up the Bento
database to somewhere other than that computer, such as file server?
If so, you can restore from that backup onto another copy of Bento.
Please also remember that solutions such as Bento, while
inexpensive, are designed for personal use. While Bento does now
allow networking, it is not perhaps the best solution for critical
business data, for reasons you have discovered.
