>The problem I'm having with a local view is that if user1 modifies a record on the view, and user2 tries to modify the same record, I cannot trap the error instantaneously for user2 (as I would if I were using native base tables). Is there a way to apply the normal base table locking scenarios to local views?

How would be able to tell that one view got changed and another didn't?

You'd have to trap it when the users tried to actually update the view - then the error trap should be the same as for buffered tables.
