| Hi all!I have next issue.There is a table in a db. There are people who work with this table using EM by means selecting needed row and updating this row. Seemingly everything is ok, but when 1 user selects a row from table and works with it EM the rest are being locked and unlocked only after updating first user.How to sort out this issue? Could anybody suggest?thanks in advance! |

| "How to sort out this issue? "Well the simple answer is "don't use EM for this task". It was never intended to be used in this way, it only provides a Grid for data-entry to facilitate Admin-folk to sort out the Raw Data if it ever becomes necessary.Can't your cheap-skate company build a proper application carefully tuned and designed to make it easy for users to maintain the data??Kristen |

| ... or use MS Access. Works quite well as a simple, flexible, quick, cheap interface to SQL Server (assuming you already have it, of course).- Jeffhttp://weblogs.sqlteam.com/JeffS |

I can see two suggestions above.With EM, unfortenately, there is no workaround because you can't change the way locks are initiated by EM.Tell the users to never leave a record in edit mode in EM?

| An EM solution is pretty scary IMHO. No Undo ... so easy to accidentally change a value on the wrong row ... |
