Lock Document While Reading

Hi,

I have a requirement like, there is a group who can read the docuemnts only. If one user opens the document and nalyzing it, have to show locking symbol in view or if another user opens the same docuemnt for reading have to popup some message “someone working on document”. I can achieve this by writing some code at form level and enabling the form property “Automatically Enable Edit Mode”.

But we already used this code in some other application and the app is facing some issues. We dont want to use that code.

If anybody knows how to lock the document in above scenario, please advise me the way of doing it.

Thanks in Advance.

Not thinking too deep into it but how about using a “ComputedForDisplay” field on the form? When the user opens the doc for reading the field should result to “Lock” then do whatever you need to do to show your lock icon. Not sure if that will work for you because I don’t know exactly how you are currently achieving your result but just a thought.
