Description

A LockField object is used to represent the _DBASELOCK field in a DBF table that has been CONVERTed. By examing the properties of a LockField object, you may determine the nature of the last row lock or update.

When a row is locked, either explicitly or automatically, the time, date, and login name of the user placing the lock are stored in the _DBASELOCK field of that row. When a file is locked, this same information is stored in the _DBASELOCK field of the first physical record in the table.

If a DBF table has a _DBASELOCK field, the LockField object is always the last field in the fields array, and is referenced by its field name, "_DBASELOCK".

All the properties of a LockField object are read-only.
