>>I have an application that currently uses Pess. Row Buffering. The problem is in the following situation : User A and User B access/read a client record at the same time. User A then locks the record while making changes. User A TABLEUPDATES() and commits the changes. In the meantime User B answered his/her phone and currently has the original record on thier screen. They proceed to modify. When they click on an object ( in this case a popup) before it drops down I (User B) sees a status bar message saying the record has been modified by another user. I guess my two questions are: Can I intercept that message somewhere in code and give he user a proper message? or What is the least coding intensive approach to solving the situation ? The record being modifed has 75 fields display on multiple pageframes. I hoping putting code in the click or When methods of each is not the easist solution.

Hi guys, even that I use "Buffering", what
I do is lock the record before letting the user to make
any changes, like in the old days:

IF RLOCK()
* Call code to edit record
=TABLEUPDATE(.t.)
UNLOCK
ELSE
*=messagebox("Record is in use by another, try later.")
ENDIF
