Re-Usable Busy Record Check?

[uemtux]

Hi all,

I'm looking for a way to check via scripting if a record is busy. Is the only way to know if a user is in a record to attempt to modify it and capture the resulting error code, or is there a more direct way?

Thanks!

You can capture the error from Open Record/Request.

Thanks Fitch... next question... is it possible to determine which user account is holding the record hostage? I'd like to display an error dialog saying who to go see :

Wouldn't that be nice? Not an option, unfortunately.
