I'm feeling dumb today.
I'm sure that somewhere I read or was taught that an Append Blank locks the record it creates. I just tested that and it doesn't seem to be true.

Is anyone else out there under the impression that Append Blank locks the record it creates or is it just me?

Is it perhaps because a new record is something the system doesn't know about and there for won't try to write to... so it seems like it's safe enough to not bother with a RLOCK()?
