Maybe I don't understand how RLOCK works, but I thought that it kept everyone off the record except the first person. That once someone was on a record no one could even look except AFTER the original person moved off the locked record. I have a situation where 1 person can edit and everyone else can only see read-only controls until the original person is done.

>>If a record on a Network is brought up in a READONLY state ( all controls are READONLY), and there is a control to switch them to a READ/WRITE state is there a way to determine if someone else is using the record and prevent the switching to READ/WRITE?
>>Simply, everyone can look at any time, but only one can READ/WRITE on the record at a time.
