That being said, I think the probability of 2 users trying to update the same record is quite small in these environments. But they run for more than a year for some and I've never had any complaint (about this particuliar problem :)).

Come to think to it, due to the fact that the records I lock are not through the buffering functionality (user enter data into ad hoc curors that are bound to the form controls), that's probably the reason. The records that I lock are untouched at the moment of locking.
