Hi, it's the "newbie" here, not very technical, but am working with a "shared" database that only has two users. I have set the Access options to "Edited Record" lock status. That seems to work to prevent the users from editing the same record at the same time. However, I thought a user would receive some sort of error message if they tried to edit the locked record.


I can see the little lock icon in the record selector border, but the user does not get a popup message. This would be helpful as the users are not sure of what is going on when this occurs.


Do I need to do something to enable the message?


Thanks for sticking with a non-programmer.

Before this question is answered as it was asked, we would be negligent if we did not ask if the DB was split.

Is it?

Sorry, meant to say it is a "shared" database from a network folder NOT split. Each user opens the database from the shared folder.


Thanks.
