I am new to KeePass and I want to use it to keep track of customer credit cards. For that I need to be able to run KeePass in a multi-user environment, and I need to be able to put in cc information realtively quickly. So, here are a couple of items I need help with. Hopefully someone can point me in the right direction.
1) I need to have several people to have access to the data concurrently. Can that be done?
2) Credit ard entry should be as painless as possible. I tried to set up a template, but that did not seem to work. Mind you, I am a complete novice at KeePass, so chances are I am not doing the right thing. What I want is the following:
To enter a new credit card, the user should be able to select a template.
The template should present him with all the fields that can be entered (type, number, expiration date, etc.), and the user should be able to tab through those nd enter them.
Some fields should have pre-determined options (VISA, MC, etc.) and those should be available as a dropdown.
The credit cards entered should be searchable (to find a card).
Is that possible?

No it is not. The data does not update in real time.
CC data should not be available in one go, anyone with access could steal the lot. It should be individually encrypted and only available when working with that user's data - even then access should probably be logged.

It would be great if it would update in the real time, and would have more adjustments. I've had a lot of different types of credit cards, but if we talk about the most reliable ones, I do prefer to use bmo cashback world mastercard and it's bonus system. It has plenty of advantages among all other credit card types. For those exact bonuses, we need more options and adjustments.

I am guessing you are trying to use KeePass and sharing it between a number of users who are processing customer orders. If I am right please consider the following. If I am incorrect in my assumption then more information is needed as Paul has said.
KeePass is not designed to be mulitiuser in this way. Multiple users can safely access the same database file in read only mode. Updates to the database however will not automatically be propagated to each user. Worse than that updates WILL be lost if two users make changes separately then save to the same database file. This could be partially avoided using triggers and giving each user their own copy which is synchronised to a single master copy. Changes however are still not automatically propagated until a user causes a trigger to run.

Fred, you need to be more specific in your request.
Update how?
Adjust what?
cheers, Paul
