LockRecord() Locks the currently selected record or records in the current or specified database. Syntax LockRecord([<lAll>]) --> lResult Arguments <lAll> --> You may optionally pass TRUE to this function to attempt to lock all records within the specified table. If FALSE is passed or this parameter omitted, this function will only attempt to lock the currently pointed to record. Returns Returns TRUE if the record was successfully locked, otherwise FALSE. Description LockRecord() is a network function that locks the current record or all records of a table, preventing other users from updating the record or records until the lock is released. The record can still be read by other users. A record lock remains until another record is locked, or the UnlockRecord() function is called for the same record or the database table is closed. For each invocation of LockRecord(), there is one attempt to lock the current record, and the result is returned as a TRUE or FALSE value. An attempt to obtain a record lock fails if another user or application has already locked the record. An attempt to lock all records will fail if any record is already locked by another user. It is recommended that you always specify which table to lock. See the example below: If Table->(LockRecord()) Echo("The selected record is locked.") Endif Table->(UnlockRecord())
