Back-ends like SQL Server typically do not support "file" or "record" locking as we're used to in Fox. If two or more users update a row (record), the last update is the one which persists.

Can you tell us more about why you might actually need locking in your application?

If, for example, you use pessimistic buffering, there are ways to simulate this on a SQL backend, such as including a flag column (field) that indicates that another user has "locked" a row and it can't be altered by anyone else until the flag is reset.
