How do I make simple multiple user access app?

[Damien Girard]

I have make some database before, and I use these method :

A stack for each user (in the user directories), and work with field --> There 
are a problem : With more than 1000 entries, the stack is really big, and 
slow...

A text file, with separator (good, but can be slow if the engine is not well 
writted).

And, a XML file (my favorite), fast, extensible, and can be used by more than 
1 person at the same time (but you need to save the XML tree into the file).
I am using XML in all my software, and I have never got a problem with XML.

But, the best, for you, is to use a Database server (Oracle, MySql...).
