[GNC] GNU Cash on a Central Computer

[Mike Brady.]

Good point. Can GnuCash work as a front end to a database that does
record locking, such as MySQL? Otherwise, how would work done by
multiple other users on their copies of the data be safely merged into a
single master file?

It's clear, though, that GnuCash is designed mainly for single users. A
company big enough to have multiple bookkeepers and accountants, needing
access to the data at the same time, may need  different software.

We have a 5 year old version that is no longer supported so if there?s a problem migrating the program we?re out of luck. I would like a simpler program. QuickBooks is too much and too little. The question about GNU Cash is can it be installed on workstations that work from a central file. We only have 3 users that all do different tasks so conflicting data entry won't be an issue.
