Thanks guys, I have made a decision.
Thanks for all your inputs.

Quite simple. And the database would be on a file server, and
everyone would have a local copy.
Ethernet traffic would be a killer otherwise.
Umm, not all engines are that limited.
Whilst there aren't c-tree Plus bindings for RB, I can vouch for the
fact that the c-tree Plus ISAM engine's shared-file mode works
extremely well, as does the FoxPro shared file approach.
My first use of c-tree Plus in shared-file mode was with a IIci as
server, using LocalTalk to Classics. Even with that hardware, it had
sub-second lookup times.
I'm not saying either of these engines is particularly useful in this
circumstance, although c-tree Plus could probably be compiled into a
plugin and used with RB, just correcting a misleading comment on
performance ;-)
