record is being updated - access denied

[Dennis Malen]

We are sitting in a file on one record which islocked. We want to either 
delete or update and we get the message that:

"Record is being updated - Access Denied"

We can fix the problem by a fast reboot which we don't want to have to do. 
Is there any other way to unlock the file other than going into ?- filePro 
Directory in the Main Menu and press "delete formats" and pressing M- 
Lockfile?

Lastly, we had everyone log off the system and accessed M- Lockfile, which 
had no effect.

 This problem occurs periodically (one every couple of months)which 
eventually forces us to reboot.

Any suggestions?
