Terry As Nelson pointed out there is no real problem with accessing a GnuCash data file from multiple computers as long as the computers have access to the file location.This is OK provided access to that file by the separate users is not simultaneous and each user checks that the other users have closed the file before opening it to enter data. As Nelson has pointed out the ,LCK file will warn a user that the file is opened by another user but that warning can be manually overridden by any other user.
GnuCash's database backends do not currently have individual record locking capability for historical reasons associated with its implementation and that would be necessary to allow users simultaneous access to the data file without loss of data. This is projected as a future improvement but is contingent on a rewrite of major sections of the core code some of which is underway, however there is no definite time frame at the moment.
