I have a simple flat file that stores a 'next Job ID number'. It is stored on a network drive which can be accessed by clients in different physical locations.

Are there any issues with outside clients locking the file as 'Lock Read Write'. Is this prone to data corruption? Is there a set of steps that should be followed to keep the file from being corrupted?
