bob... ahhh  does it have to be a relational database? if not why not use
HC and a text file as your database.. where only the first user would be
able to write to it .. but others might be able to read it concurrently..
else.. another workaround.. a text file with arrays again as a database..
which open readinto and close  ... this happens very fast.. and would
allow sort of a virtual concurrent access (hows that for confounding
things even more) mike
