Svein,

Update time will be no big issue if you are talking about user-entry. Only
when you want to scroll through a dataset performing updates.
Perhaps a nice update for IBO as altenative behaviour of TIBOquery. Perhaps
I will build it myself, changing the "fieldsreadonly" property in the
beforeupdate-event.

In most cases it is not so bad if user B overrides the changes of user A,
but in some cases it does (invoice-state, archived flag etc.)
But those are typical fields a user wants to see, but not to edit directly.
So I think I'll use the "fieldsreadonly" property to exclude some of the
fields from the update sql.
