Dear Jason,

As I know, if one user edited and posted a record in a transaction,
beofore the user to commit the transaction, other user can see the
latest commited version of record, right?

My problem is that in this case the secord can't be read or opened by
other user. The second user want to read the record only, not to edit
or delete. When the second user to read the record, IBO raise a
record lock conflict error.

I tried this:

1. User A: StartTransaction -> Insert one master record or one detial
record -> post both master and detail record -> comit the transaction
2. User B can read about records.
3. User A: StartTransaction -> edit master record -> edit detail
record and post it
4. User B: open IBOQuery of master table without problem
5. User B: open IBOQuery of detail table -> this IBOQuery can't be
open untill User A call commit or rollback

I found that the system stoped at line 6321 of IBODataset.pas:
InternalDataset.BufferRowNum := FCurRowNum + 1; After User A call
commit or rollback, the system will run again.

My question is: why the code (InternalDataset.BufferRowNum :=
FCurRowNum + 1;) causes record locking conflict?

Thanks for help!

Earnest
