fudadmin: especially in case of fire emergency it's important to air-tight seal all exits and never let anyone out. Smile

(joking .. hopefully)

demynted: this looks like good task for some SQL DB server, did you consider that?

You can also used shared file system to write files at the same location mapped from every workstation. (you will have less work with setup, because you don't have to install DB, but you will have to code more to properly lock/unlock the shared file during reading/updates to not corrupt it by accessing from two PCs at the same time)

Also in the end if you do install some server, maybe you can reconsider this whole app and create it as some simple PHP script on server side, so people will use it trough web browser (no hassle to install/update the app on each PC, you will have "only" to maintain the server).

If you are really adventurous, you can create the web app in U++ (as shown in examples/bazaar/reference it's possible to create some cgi server module, but it would be much more interesting for U++ community to have some full web app working to study, because current source available is mere proof of concept, nothing more Smile
