Before we create the logic, want to be sure I have not missed something.  Does OI handle providing multiple data entry persons with unique keys?...We don't mind a few 'holes' due to a key being handed and not used....We have discovered the same limitation as AREV, same key handed to two stations, "last one to save wins".  No warning even.

<QUOTE>Paxton,



If you [i]lock[/i] the key two users will not get the same key. But if a user changes her mind you may get 'holes'.



You might want to read the thread 

http://www.revelation.com/WEBSITE/DISCUSS.NSF/f12696d31000b22a8525652b00831bb2/12b26e71dd845745852565380041b097?OpenDocument where I asked the same question as you.



Mark Martin, Revelation, published a function theat finds the next available key. See http://www.revelation.com/WEBSITE/DISCUSS.NSF/f12696d31000b22a8525652b00831bb2/26b5e3cd1bb74613852563a9006b8b79?OpenDocument. The function locks the key.
