Does the NetWeb Server support the standard "warn user if someone else changed the record while you were editing it" check?

Example:
- connected  to http://127.0.0.1 using Internet Explorer, logged in as user A, opened entry Z in Change mode and changed the field to 55555
- connected  to http://127.0.0.1 using Firefox, logged in as user B, opened entry Z in Change mode and changed the field to 66666
- as user A, saved my change and logged out
- as user B, saved my change and logged out

No warning was provided, and final field after all this is 66666.

Also tried a "nested" test where A logs and changes, B logs, changes and saves, A saves.  This time, final field is 55555, no warnings.

Hi Vince,

At the moment, no. It makes no effort to make sure the record you are saving hasn't been edited in the meantime. There has been some lively discussion on this topic, and I'm not sure I 100% like this feature (after all, it doesn't warn you 20 seconds later if someone edits your record either.) However I have added this to the "to do" list.

Cheers
