When ESC is pressed, an error message called in errorfix is displayed, then the main application object is released and the program exits. I don't want this to happen. My intent is to clear the lock attempt and keep the form opened.

Just my opinion. Do not use "automatic". Have a timer, if rlock() unsuccesfull, display message and enable timer. Timer is there for checking if it can place a lock + displaying still in use while the user is waiting. If s/he navigates to another rec disable timer. Works good with pessimistic.
