That is the traditional way of doing things (the only safe way to work in FoxPro 2.x). While you can still use rlock(), many developers nowadays rely on buffering, instead. With optimistic buffering, VFP will check whether another user has changed the record; with the "standard" options for TableUpdate(), the record will not be saved in this case.
Difference in opinions hath cost many millions of lives: for instance, whether flesh be bread, or bread be flesh; whether whistling be a vice or a virtue; whether it be better to kiss a post, or throw it into the fire... (from Gulliver's Travels)
