>I am trying to alert users about locked records before hand so that they dont try to edit that particular record. If they still try then it prompts that record is locked. I am using TRANSACTION to carry out these edits. Parent table, which is edited, has pessimistic buffering.
Norman,
Normally, edit rights to a field linked to a form control are taken care of at the control level.
In this case, if the control determines that its controlsource field in in a locked record (or table), it should set itself to .readonly or not .enabled, or prevent the user from gaining access by returning .F. from when().
