FWIW I thing multi-user is not a requirement.  It should only be run by a
competent person, ie the develop for specific purposes and as it runs
"UNDER" the project "root" folder and is "date specific" it should never
conflict with anything else.  What you could do is perhaps put a flag up to
say it is "In progress" and stop another invocation starting.

Speaking of which, I got Eatbloat (my version) populating tables to get
around the list control data 
source 2K string length limitation.  I created msys tables in my library
container and then populate 
those tables instead of building up a huge comma delimited string for the
list control data source. 
  Now the table can hold as many objects as needed and the lists use the
tables as their data source.

It just occurred to me that I may need to add "multi-user" handling because
my version can 
theoretically be used in many different FEs at the same time.  I'll probably
need to track which FE 
the objects are coming from, something like that.

Anyway, it works great so far.
