May i ask, is this the first time you will
learn foxpro for multi-users?

What areas are you concerned about? The sample code provided with FPD/FPW 2.6a is basically all multi-user capable. Multi-user concerns are rarely difficult to code around, but alot depends on the type of application, the number (and type) of users, and the how much data you are handling.

From your previous question thread182-418159 where you are looking for the FPD 2.6 development environment, I must assume that this is all new to you.

First, get yourself a legal copy of Foxpro (see your other posting for a possible source or eBay). I'd suggest not bothering with the DOS version unless it was absolutely necessary for your users.

While it would be best to go right into VFP rather than spending time learning an obsolete version, your work environment or user base might require you to make another choice.

Spend time learning and working with the language before worrying specifically about multi-user issues. Besides many (if not most) of the multi-user issues are automatically handled by Foxpro itself without your having to put in extra coding. The ones within your specific application that are not handled, will become apparent over time and by then you will most likely have learned how to handle them.

Good Luck,

I'm not new in foxpro, I wanna install it into DosEmulator under linux operating system.
I've tried installed foxpro2.6 samples for single user running under linux environment, and it's works.

I'm sorry, but "Foxpro for Dos running under DosEmulator in linux Operating System" doesn't answer the implied questions in "... a lot depends on the type of application, the number (and type) of users, and the how much data you are handling." What more can you tell us?

Actually foxpro2.6 is almost a multi-user environment,
you just have to increase the file handle, and know
how and when to lock and unlock a file...
good luck....
