Prevent shared tasks being opened by more than one user at a time?

I am currently sharing my task list on an office server, so that all users
can access, add and edit tasks (but not delete). Is there any way of
preventing the same task being opened by more than one user at a time? We
have had some instances of tasks being open on more than one machine - if it
has been edited on one machine and saved, there is no way of updating the
other (open) occurence of the task.
I was wandering if this option was available as it is in Word (i.e. 'The
file is locked for editing by another user').
Thanks!

Tasks where? In what product? In something you're developing?

Hi, I'm in the middle of writing a multi-user system with very critical timing issues. I've already implemented a cache and an API to access it (with appropriate locking for multithreaded access). This shared cache is critical / the primary function of the system. At the core of this system there is a cache of objects that can be modified by anyone, and a windows service (thread) that will run operations with the cached objects on...

When I first discovered shared memory (between multiple processes) I immediately started thinking of how to build my own VM subsystem + locking mechanisms for a large single block of memory. This seems like one option, the other appears to be just having each "object" you want to share be a shared mem space to itself: allocate objects into a defined shared mem space. But here you have many many objects being shared. Having a VM...

The goal I don't want clients to give out their usernames and passwords to friends, since the site relies on subscrption fees. Sessions ID's are matched between the browser and the server. So a users can login with same username and password and those sessions are tracked individually. Some suggest create table fields with the session ID...
