Hi Jim,

Thanks for clarify. Still think that for your application a client/server approach is good solution. Following scenario:

- Server is the only application that deal with the saved map
- Clients ask the map data to server and get it. When client wants to make changes it say to server to lock the data. This way other clients can have data from server but not alowed to make changes. Of course there should be some timeouts etc to not have deadlocks.
- When Client application made changes it upload data back to server which save it and unlock.

For this you have to construct a TCP client / server application and own made protocol to deal with commands and data. Not really difficult.
