If share is loaded Dbase should act the same way. It is normal under
Delphi/Pdox to be able to have two or more users on the same table
even in the same record at the same time. If any user enters edit
mode on a field and hits a key then any other user attempting to enter
edit mode on that field will not be able to type till the first users
changes are committed.
