Hi

I simple solution could:

  • set a lock flag when going into editmode.

  • remove flag when saving

  • Make an scheduled agent which removes old stuck locks

Subject: an example…

Hi

this is just a quick example to point you the right way:

  • Create a form

  • ad a text field called “lockfield”

  • create two agents “UnLockAgent” and ad it to Webquerysave and “LockAgent” in Webqueryopen

using formular @If(@IsDocBeingEdited;(@Command([ToolsRunMacro]; “LockDocAgent”));“”)

and

@If(@IsDocBeingEdited;(@Command([ToolsRunMacro]; “UnLockDocAgent”));“”)

Example agent Lockagent:

Dim session As NotesSession

Set session = New NotesSession

Dim doc As NotesDocument



Set doc = session.DocumentContext



If Not (doc.IsNewNote) Then

	doc.lockfield="Locked"

	Call doc.save(True,False)

End If

example “Unlockagent”

Dim session As NotesSession

Set session = New NotesSession

Dim doc As NotesDocument



Set doc = session.DocumentContext



If Not (doc.IsNewNote) Then

	doc.lockfield="UnLocked"

	Call doc.save(True,False)

End If

You could the have 2 subforms in the form.

One loads if the unlocked field is “Unlocked” showing editabl fields

One showing “computed for display” fields if document is locked.

The rest is up to you ! :slight_smile:

to avoid “save conflicts” you should keep the lock field in separate document and not in the same document.

Have the lockfield in the original document make a lookup in the lock document instead.

You could use the uniqueID from original document as a key for the lockdocument
