Hi, been having great fun thus far with enterprise edition. However, I have come across a big issue for me and hopefully you can offer some kind of work around.
Record locking works fine but it does not appear to actual lock the record - only the project table (View).
I have Table A with View A and View B ( View A is Student and B is Manager ) Over writing is possible but not wanted.
1 person can edit View A and another can edit View B even though it is the same record - locked. And here lies the problem.
Is there a way to lock View B from editing if View A is in edit mode? After all it is the same record really and table.
Have looked at doing it with mysql but am not at all comfortable with understanding or implementing it.
I need to avoid going to single level tables and would like all fields available on both views.
Student fills out some boxes and manager reads and adds there own data to boxes ( using locked edits on View B )
Thanks as always,
Mike.

Record locking is designed on logical level. Even though both custom views are built on the top of the same data table record locking works independently for each view. To change this behavior you have to modify generated files meaning you have to apply this change after each project build.

Thxs - Could you please let me know how this is done ! - I do not mind having to do it after each build. I do this already with web reporting due to Jquery conflicts.
