Hello..

     I'll be working on a multi-user database soon (probably FoxBase 2.0
-
Multi-User) on Macs and I was curious as to how data file integrity was
taken care of.  I want to be able to modify a database, but I don't want
any of the datafiles to be accessable from the Finder (with appleshare).
Worse case scenerio is that the files are visible (encrypted though), but
no write access is given (I don't want the files to be thrown out).  But
I don't see how the application could modify the files then.  If anybody
has any experience or ideas, I would be very appreciative.  Thanks.

Dave.
