I have not really done a lot with FOXWEB other than sending back data in the form of reports, but it is my intention to do so soon.  One thing that keeps coming up in my head about WEB Applications is this ...

 

How do WEB Applications deal with situtations in which a record needs to be locked for some particular reason and then the user just simply leaves without completing the action he was involved with.  How does the lock get taken off and when ?

 

Do we create some program running in the background that does nothing but check on locks and deal with them if they should be unlocked ?

 

That would seem to be a big problem and I would like to hear the concept of how that is dealt with.

 

Thanks.
