>>Actually Borland had something like that before 1990 (although with their own db, bundled with the product - some advanced version of TPas, or was it Paradox), and I've played with a couple of demos where they clearly demonstrated the browse window being updated when another user changed a value somewhere... which all happened behind the scenes somehow. That made me very suspicious, on the principle that any automatic behavior which can't be overridden is bad. And this wasn't just automatic, it was "they won't say how they do it, so we don't know what's going on and how it works" (and what to do when it doesn't). Which was just another reason we took Fox (mFoxPlus 2.1), which had all the networking stuff we needed.

Possibly, or even before that (or while it was still called Paradox) or something like that. Misty past.
