I'm curious about the philosophy of WED "read-only" mode. The main reason that I would use read-only mode is to look at a record without interfering with other processes that may need to read and possibly update that record.
However, I have discovered that WED always issues a READU lock when it reads a record, even if has been told to open a read-only copy.
Is there a reason for locking a record that WED does not allow the user to update?

Hi Auctor -
Looks like a contradiction in how wED is implemented. The READU happens because the option to use record locking in wED is enabled. It does make sense that read-only would override the locking option, but they are being handled independently. So wED opens the locked record in read-only mode. If another process had locked the record, wED would probably complain, but open the record after confirming to open in read-only mode.
Thanks,
Pete

Is there any way to customize that behavior or is it just the way that ATWED32.EXE is coded? I tried setting KMTCFG field 58 to 1 but it made no difference.
