hey christian,
no,you probably have mistaken me here.i have taken care of that.i'm locking
it only twice so there is no chance of the lock count increasing.but i'm not
unlocking it.i mean the overlocked handle error occurs only after 15 times
of locking,which is not the case here,and morover the error message will
be"CHUNK OVER LOCKED" and not "FIELD OVER LOCKED" for that case.do you know
what to do at this case?thanks for the answer though.

Subject: Re: field overlocking?!!!
Prashanth,
When working with fields, you can lock the handle to the field's text to
manipulate it. When locking the handle, a reference count is increased to
let different parts of your program lock the same handle at the same time.
The catch is that you also need to unlock the handle, and that you can only
lock the handle a fixed amount of times without unlocking it. If you lock it
too many times without unlocking it the memory manager will tell you that
you have overlocked the handle.
