hi, I would like to lock a record so that when one user is modifying a particular record, then it is locked for all other users. For this purpose, I have two fields in every table ("LockedBy int null", which contains the UserID of the editing user and "LockedSince int not null", a timestamp). My current logic is: when the user enters the form to modify a record, lock it (set LockedBy=$UserID). when the user presses the submit-button
