I design the program of database multiuser with the Paradox. I enquire:

1. How many client which can access it? Is It no limit ?

2. What Is stable OS? Is Win98 or what?

3. If Server is still on, while client which of data of access its, is off,
is the data not corupt?

The physical limit on the number of users is 300 but you will have
performance problems long before you get to that. I know of one Paradox
application that supported 100 users but the practical limit for most well
designed applications will probably be in the 30 to 50 user range.

My personal opinion is that using any file server database for a
multi-user application is a mistake. That chances of database corruption
are too high in an environment where every client writes directly to the
database files. A crash on any workstation can cause corruption. It is
_much_ safer to use a database server.

Stable versions of Windows are NT4, 2000, XP and 2003.

We also must use Paradox in a multiuser environment yet, and I only can give
you the hint: If you can avoid Paradox, do it!
We have very often damaged indices and repairing them isn't in the long run
a good soultion.

Don't missunderstand me, I don't want to decry Paradox itself. But in a
multiuser environment, you will probably have a hugh data appearance. And
therefor Paradox shouldn't be the first choice.
