Author access.lockrecords

I have a form I want to be available to many users at once. However, I would
like to lock each individual record from being viewed by others, while a user
has it open. Is this possible?

This is a single-user database on a shared folder. Since users will make
phone calls to clients per each record on the form, I don't want them all
making calls to the same client at the same time. Thus, it's not sufficient
to just lock the record for editing. Thanks for any help you can offer.

Hi,
you can lock edited record, using RecordLocks property, but not sure about
viewed.
I think I would try to build a separate table, where I just save what record
each user have opened, and use it instead
