I'm a newbie to MySQL so if this is a common question, forgive me, but I can't find an 
answer.

How do I prevent data collision in the following scenario:
User A and User B are examining the same data (say a customer's name and address).  
User A modifies something (say the customer's phone number) and saves the transaction. 
 User B modifies something different at the same time.  How can I prevent User B's 
modification from being saved?

This is a database I'm converting from Foxpro, and there I would have just told User B 
that User A had the data open, and prevented them from editing it.  I'm sure there's a 
better way.  Thanks for your advice.
