Here goes:

When someone clicks on a button, etc., associated with editing a record, we Ascan() a Globally-visible array (oGlobal.RecsCheckedOut[1000]) containing User IDs and Rec#s.

If not found, we Ains() a record into this Array and add Getenv('User_ID') or something similar and Recno(). This effectively 'checks out' the record for this User. When they 'SAVE', we Adel() the entry from the array.

Same logic could be used with a Temporary Cursor, created at program startup and also associated with the oGlobal object for visibility throughout.

Just a scenario, trying to use Memory instead of actual disk storage and Table definitions, etc...might be a little bit faster also...
