Hi,

I have been thinking about this since two day and tried everything, but no luck.

I have a form with recordsource a query. A listbox contains all references and if you choose a reference, everything else on the same form gets updated. Now i want to avoid that two users edit the same record at the same time. So i thought i would make an extra field in my table with a checkbox "yes/no" wich says if the record is in use or not. Now whenever a user edits a complaint i want that when another user is trying to edit the same record a message pops up saying that the record is in use. I can get it to work, but only have the problem that when a user decides to change reference number in the listbox and call upon another record, the value needs to get to fals again on the record he was editing.

Maybe there is another way to now if a user is working on a record.

Anyone that can help with an easy solution on this?
 
Go to Tools Options Advanced .. set the default record locking method to whatever you need to.
