If someone else tries to open the view at the same time, VFP doesn't like the view record being locked and gives this error.

Hi Doug-
This is what I have put together as well.
Unfortunately, I am getting this error quite often at one of my sites (once or twice a week maybe). I am trying to work towards an elegant error handling solution to this. I have looked through your error handling framework and didn't find anything specifically to deal with it (I could have missed something?).

What I have tried to do is trap for the error and allow the user to cancel or retry. Since I think the record is only being locked for a split second, I thought this strategy would work nicely. Unfortunately though, issuing a RETRY from the error routine produces a VFP error (not trappable) that says something like "Mismatched Pushjmp/Popjmp call" and the app quickly exits. Not as elegant as I would have hoped. Do you have any insights?
