Dear All,

I've prepared a program for timesheet. Each user will have his own file but I want some information (as the client list and data) to be shared among all users.
What I mean is that if one user creates or amends a client, the same will be updated for all the other users.
My first idea is a dropbox folder with the information file where all the data are kept and from where the users will get the data of the clients.
The problem is that I'm a bit worried about the speed of the program because that would mean going to get the updated data every time you perform a simple process to be sure that you are using the most updated information.
So I was thinking of a code to check if the file was amended since the last update and only, in that case, to open it and import the new info.
Before starting I wanted to know if you have any advice or tip to give.


Thank you
