Question about record and file locking
Posted: Thu Nov 13, 2008 01:48 PM

Hello,

If a record or a file has been locked by another user, is there a way that I can force an unlock ?

Thanks a lot for any help.

Not that I know of. This is a good reason to use optimistic locking (lock after editing). Then the record is only locked for a split second.

James,

Thanks for your answer.

But suppose that my application results in an error, after which the application is quited.

What happens to locked records or files ? Are they unlocked automatically ?
