If you use buffering, you rarely need to explicitly lock records. The usual procedure would be:
Open the table with buffering: SET MULTILOCKS ON and CursorSetProp("Buffering") (or through properties in the form's DataEnvironment).
Save a record with TableUpdate(). Be sure to check the return value. Visual FoxPro checks for conflicts, and doesn't do the TableUpdate() if another user made changes in the meantime (assuming the standard parameters for TableUpdate()).
If you want to cancel changes to a record, use TableRevert().
