Multiple Computers

[Waggers]

Forgive me for re-asking this question, but the original got lost in an on-going thread.

We are using Business 8.04

We have User 1 who updates the catalog and processes the orders and
User 2 who just process the orders (usually when User 1 is busy or away).

I've installed Actinic on both PC's but pointing to a directory on the server (f:\Actinic v8\).

Is this safe, and what would happen if both users opened Actinic at the same time (at the moment we make sure one is out before the other is in!)?

Could User 1 be working on the catalog at the same time as user 2 was processing orders?

You would need Multi-User to do this by the book

I guess if you try and open both your copies at the same time only one would open as without multi-user you would not get the safeguards required to stop working on the same item at the same time causing a disaster

Actinic caches a lot of information in the program as well, so I wouldn't recomend trying to work this way, you're better off upgrading to multiuser.
