Razzak, I guess the real question is why they were able to overwrite the file at all. If it behaved like all other open files, they would be prevented from making the change, period.

Karen, Jan, et al., R:BASE External Form File (.rff) is an external file, as it is. So, how would you expect to open it, make changes, and then try to save it while everyone else on the network is running the application by accessing the same external form file? What happens when you RUN any "external" command file, or EEP, when everyone else is running it, and then EDIT the file, make some changes and then try to save it? That simple exercise should provide you with some very practical and intelligent answers.
