I have in the past shared MapInfo tables across a server with mixed results.
I had an MI table being maintained on a server machine and at the same time
being viewed on client machines. The problem was that when a feature was
moved on the server machine, the client machines would not always see it
until the user manually refreshed the screen. This problem was intermittent
(pointing to server issues?) and I never nailed down a pattern. This works
much better with MapX, but MI techsupport reports that tab files are not
meant to be shared. Eric Zittel of MI reports on the MapX discussion forum

"...tabs aren't meant to be shared. You may want to move to a data solution
that supports sharing..."
Bottom line is I wouldn't mind seeing more discussion about this. I am
curious about what other types of "data solutions that support sharing"
people have been coming up with.
