Find out which program has the record locked, and exit update mode on that 
record.

If the program isn't updating the record, exit the program to unlock it, and 
try to find a pattern as to why it didn't unlock the record.

If no program has the record locked, but the O/S says it's locked, then 
you've encountered a bug in the O/S.

As I recall, there is a program for Windows called "WhoLockMe" that can tell 
you which process has it locked.  I don't know how well, or even if, it 
works across a network.
