Easy DB Question

How can I bypass the lock state of a Record? I mean, sometimes I get a "RecordLockedByAnotherUser" error and there's no way to change that record until I restart windows.

How can I unlock it:
a)At design time?
b)At run time?

Hi
the only way i know that sometimes works is too close delphi and any other bde application that is open and then restart Delphi ,that should clear the lock.

From the BDE help file:

Release the record lock on either the current record or all the record locks in the current session.

This example uses the following input:

fDbiRelRecordLock(Table1.Handle, True);

The procedure is:

procedure fDbiRelRecordLock(hTmpHandle:hDBICur; bAll: Boolean);

begin
Check(DbiRelRecordLock(hTmpHandle, bAll));
end;

Is it only at design time has this problem?

DrDelhpi looks like you're close but
what about when coding/debugging?
¿How can I break the Lock from within delphi?

DrDelphi

Chachote,
To tell you the truth, I don't think that it's possible in Designtime. While debugging, you could always set a breakpoint, make a call to the function I mentioned and then check your values.

Good luck!!
