This must be a common question, but I don't know the
answer.
If a form has record locking set to No Locks and the user
tries to update fields into a locked record, his input is
accepted, then discarded when the optimistic lock fails,
after displaying a dialog box indicating the record is
locked and by whom.
If the form has record locking set to Edited Record, input
is not accepted, and the user simply sees an unresponsive
form with no feedback. When viewing the form as a dataset,
the user sees an interdit symbol as soon as anything is
input. In the same fashion, how can the form view react to
the first input and display a locked message?
