Don,

I tried to test this, but I have no access to other machines on the one
site where I use win2k3.

However, I -believe- that if a record lock is obtained, # Locks should rise
for that file/user line.

Try opening a file via the network and using that feature I suggested while
at entsel.  Then hit update, wait a second and refresh the Manager.  If
# Locks went up, you have a course tool for finding which users have locks
on segments of the file(s).  It won't tell you which record is locked
though, even if it indicates a lock as I theorise.

Let us know?  Sorry, I just don't have the environment to test it myself.
