It depends upon how you want pgm to handle locks/updates when someone simply
reads a record.  You could store image of rcd at read time then "reread"
just prior to update.  If there are differences warn user that record has
changed after initial display (read) of record(s).

Hope this helps.

Would it be wise to use the "NO LOCK" if I'm changing the record?

Importance: High

Hi everyone, I'm having a rough time with a program.  The program is used
for a lot a people and every time someone tries to change data, the program
freezes anyone who tries to access another record.

Can anybody tell me what steps I should take to correct this problem.

Thanks very much for all the help

Luis
