This bug occurs when two or more users are entering data using a form to the same table, whether using the same form or not. Sometimes, one user will lock the table, showing a Remote or Edit lock, but this user's computer will believe that the table is locked against them. Thus, the table remains locked. To make matters worse, often this bug will prevent the user who locked the table from Escaping or using F5 to exit the entry. RBase is sending an update out to all registered users. Until then, try to avoid having two people enter using a form to the same table. To correct the problem rebooting the locked station may be necessary - but remember to use the Network Administrator disk program RBADMIN to deactivate that station, or it will be unusable.
