Publisher's Synopsis
Having discovered the benefits of using dBASE as a language to develop applications, an increasing number of dBASE users are finding that the next step is to make their applications available to several PC users at the same time. A typical situation is where two or more people need to share the information available in one or more databases, for example several sales staff all needing simultaneous access to an order entry system. In this book, a typical network is described, showing how a multi-user application differs from a single-user one, and the techniques one uses (in dBASE terms) to program for several users at once. Much of the content is geared towards practical advice as well as guidance on looking after such a network once it becomes operational.
