>Originally, I was using a grid control to add/edit/delete records in a table. Since user has a short-cut key for adding rows (which appends records), and the screen refresh is sometimes a little slow, I've run into a problem where I get "REcord locked by another user" messages when user is adding, editing records so quickly. I've decided on a cleaner looking, at least, approach of using a listbox with an appended record at the end, and text boxes above used to populate added records, edit, etc. However, I am still getting "Records locked by another user" messages.

Sounds like you are using Optimistic buffering. If so, try issuing an UnLock and a TableUpdate(.t.,.t.,"MyTable") after adding a new record. You may have to switch toe order of the Unlock and tableupdate. To see which works best. But I think the UnLock should be first.
