There seems to be a common issue about opening an object twice, making changes, and then saving the wrong object. It would be good if: 1. users should be able to activate a warning message that pops up when opening a second (or third …) instance of an object; the second instance could also be made read-only by default 2. there is a different title bar for the second instance e.g. the title bars for the first and second instances would be: Report 50001 - Report Designer Report 50001 (2) - Report Designer [in italics, or in a different colour] Alastair
Hi afarr, have a look to the following Topic: http://www.mbsonline.org/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=10281 maybe it help´s you on your Problem. Regards Bastian
Hm, or you use WindowWatcher. Nice little application. It also supports multiple user. So if you open R50000 and your colleague would do the same, BOTH of you would be notified about that. http://window-watcher.de.vu/
Hi Bastian, Walter, I only searched in this forum before posting, instead of using the search function, so thanks for the replies. I have downloaded the tool now, and will try it out. Regards Alastair
Does anyone have a problem with the demo version of window-watcher where if there is only one object in the locking tab you can’t release it?
Alex, we are using WinWatch since late 2000 and have had no problems (at least with the full version). I cannot remember any problems with the demo version. Is locking working in the demo version? As fas as I know Locking and Network is ‘blocked’ there. However, our site license is working well.
