Hi Scott ---

Local LOCKs and FLOCKs have no bearing on what Sybase is doing with the table. However, experiment with using different local buffering schemes (CURSORSETPROP); you may be able to optimize server access to avoid locking out other applications. Finally, check your Sybase settings to see how it is handling database requests.
