Just to be sure of the question, are you saying that (regardless of whether transaction is happening) when you issue the UNLOCK, the record does not actually get unlocked. ie.

Table Buffering is on
Editing takes place
In code you issue

SELECT (recordsource)

llSuccess = TABLEUPDATE(.T.)

UNLOCK IN (recordsource)

* and when you test from another machine, it is still locked?
