>IsRlocked() and Sys(2011) are deceiving. As Steve posted, you can't determine if someone else has a lock on the record or not. These functions only work locally. Also of note, is that they only work for the current datasession. So even if you have a a lock but it is in another form with a private datasession, it won't return the correct information.

Especially since there is no penalty to RLock() - locking a locked (by same process) is no problem, and if your intent is to lock it once you know the status, then you get that in the operation too. Easy to UNLOCK() if locking isn't actually wanted.
It is also better for the next person doing maintenance in that they will not be deceived by the IsRLocked() coding.
