Yes.  To quote the netware btrieve 5.0 manual:
"If an application at a workstation makes Btrieve requests to both a local
(nonshared) drive and a network (shared) drive, a copy of either Btrieve
Single User or Btrieve for DOS 3.1 Networks must be loaded at that
workstation, as well as BREQUEST."
I just tried it and it seemed to work fine.
