You can force the TABLEUPDATE() (check the help file). This will mean that the changes the other user made will be overwritten by the new data. This is sometimes desirable. You can also use CURVAL() and OLDVAL() to determine what changes were made and allow your user to decide whether to overwrite them or not.
