Re: Best way to test Record Locking in Multiuser System

Jan,

Thanks for reinforcing that. I am well aware of the fact that no matter how
much testing you do in the development stage, you are always going to run
into problems when the system goes into production. It is much easier to
resolve issues like the ones Ook mentioned pertaining to missing forms or
printers etc. However, if the issue is caused by the Production environment
only, it is much harder to debug because in the development, you have all
your source code and debugging facilities available which are hard to
replicate on user machines.

Nevertheless, your point is well taken and I will always keep in mind that
this can happen.

Thanks.
