I usually see this when a record is open in the UI when the BOI from another task is trying to access it.  I use the Master Console to find (and kill if needed) the user process in question.

Hi Craig. I guess It wouldn't be the best idea to try and kick them out. I was thinking about starting a background thread and polling until the record has been released. Now trying to figure out the best approach to doing so. I have noticed that it fails when it tries to write to the header. Maybe I could keep retrying the header write every 10 minutes or so. Have you had any experience in this?
