Yes You do. Multilocks is scoped to datasessions. Set it in the Load of the form (if it has a private datasession).

BTW, what version of Novell are you using? Older versions of the NOS had limits to the number of locks it would allow per connection and allow in total. You may need to configure these on the server.

HTH.
