Missing Data

[oakbridge]

I've got a situation at a client's location where certain data is going missing. The environment is a FM Server 8 hosting at one physical location and FM 8.5 clients in the same building and other FM 8.5 clients coming in remotely. Most are on a dedicated remote line.

What we've seen is data has gone missing from certain fields of certain records. The database is a few thousand records, we've seen data missing from one field (always the same field) for maybe 10-12 records.

We're wondering if because there seems to be slight delay for the remote users, whether it is possible that two users could be modifying the same field of the same record at the same time and because of the network delay, the 'record locked' warning message is not getting sent out.

Is this possible?
