Possibly some temporary problems, if you haven't fully understood the
purpose of transaction management...

Run multiple instances of it on your single machine...just don't have them
connect through Windows local connection! Set up a server host in your
HOSTS file, and connect your application instances to it, thus:

HOSTS entry:
127.0.0.1 TestServer # Local loopback server

Connection parameters:
Server - TestServer
Path - d:\localpath\myDB.gdb (whatever it is on your machine)
Protocol - cpTCP_IP

With luck and good management, none. This database was made for multiple
users...
