Its quite essential in my application that I'm able to modify reports when
other users are in my database, I'd be grateful of additional feed back.


It's bad practice to do development work on a production system, rather you should have a development copy to work on which you would then deploy to your users (one copy each) for data manipulation and report generation. I use a user-executed batch file to ensure that the latest version of the FE is delivered to the user every time the open the app.
