I have an compiled vfp7 app running over citrix/WTS using wyse thin clients, with my exe and database on a netware 4.11 server. About 30 users. When they click "save" the following code is run...

(There is a table "status" and a view "vstatus", both are buffered mode 5)

set reprocess to 30 seconds
replace status.ncounter with status.ncounter + 1 in status
begin transaction
if tableupdate(.t.,.t.,'vstatus') and tableupdate(.t.,.t.,'status') then
     end transaction
else
     =messagebox('Error saving data',0,'Error')
     rollback
endif

The app is freezing up when the second tableupdate occurs. A look at the
netware server shows status.dbf with a "locked" status for maybe 5 users. I have to kill the connections till only one user is left and then they unfreeze and continue on. I thought that if the record was locked for more than 30 seconds (which it shouldn't be with that short transaction) the other users would fail the tableupdate and get an error message. This isn't happening. It's almost as if the reprocess is infinite. Any tips?
