r5 document locking code solutions for R 5.0.12 ( ghassan )
Hi EE,
Have got this code from an existing application that was used to enable document locking for R5 apps. Ghassan I hope this helps you?
Marko re: your comment in previous EE Q. I guess this snippet does require delete access in ACL ( I'm just trying to understand ,oh, and suck your brains ;) ):
If lockdoc.form(0)="Lock" Then 'Remove if response is a lock doc
Call lockdoc.remove(True)
** Just checked ACL all users who typically worked with this form did have delete document access... So I guess while this works, its not ideal..

EE, any appraisal on this code? I am not the author but would be interested in thoughts / comments as I'm just learning Notes Dev.?

Hi Ghassan,
Not sure what u mean in your first sentence?
If your using r6 use the native document locking the product shipped with.
If your using r5 u can use the above ( check out Marliyn post though -- there are mods that def. should be made ). The down side though is the users require delete access in acl...

Hi,
Thanks Broad,
I am planning to create a database application which is "light"....not alot of data (but very useful.)
I will put this .nsf on a domino server online, but I want to prevent anyone from replicating it locally or anywhere else.
I want to disable the ability of any replication on this database. is this possible?
Also I am using r6, so there is document locking. However, it asks for an admin locking server to be specified. What is that?
Also, when using the native document locking feature, can you get a message saying who is currently updating a certain document?

Hi Ghassan you will have to raise new questions for your queries. Firstly however, search thru the EE knowledge base as I would suggest most of your queries have been answered in existing posts.

Broad, thanks for the points!
Also, to be honest I have not looked into the code in great detail, but does this require "document Locking" to be enabled or the use of response documents does not require this.
This is because when I enable "Document Locking" it asks for an Admin locking server? is this necessary.
I like the idea of getting response documents saying "user X is editing", I will be looking at the code in more details.
