The question:
- Never do this
- not advisable
- yes, but have to do extra coding
- no problem
The question:
I think, no problem. Have you ever had a problem with multi-user application(s) working with the same database files?
No problems at all. Much easier in C7+ to do this as well.
I have one solution with 4 exe’s one dct most sharing the same Dll’s as well. All get compiled at once using the app pad.
This means four app files though yeah?
Yes 1 app per exe / dll
They all appear in the app pad and solution pad
most of the exe’s are just menu’s that run dll stuff.
So I have one main exe and a very very limited on for sales people for instance.
I have several (4) programs working from a common dictionary and it all works fine but one warning. Don’t forget that changes to any of the common data structure in the dictionary will require re-compiling all the programs else users will have the ‘invalid data structure’ message then ‘halt’.
For any upgrade of one of the programs I supply a full set with increased version numbers on all, even those with no real code changes, to mark the dictionary upgrade.

Hi Piet,
No problems here: one dct (500+ files) and nearly 40 monolithic apps/exes (clarion 6.3).
