cfront and table locking

calvinhfx

Does anyone have an idea what would happen to a third party application trying to write to a table that is locked for modification within navision?

It says "Locked by ..." underneath the main navision screen and waits until the Table is unlocked by a "commit" or the end of the job! So for example if to attempts to post an invoice hit each other and everything would be real slow, you would see that the table is locked by the first person that hits the table locking, then when he finishes function 80 or hits the commit, it is set free and person b can post his record. However normaly you should not find a table locked, because the system should be faster then the tablelocking. If you do have the "locked by" then most of the time it is due to a problem.
You can see the way it works when you start the debugger in function 80 and debug while the users are posting. They will love you for it!
Hope it helped a bit
