Record Locking using VB6 Random Access Files

Hi Guys,

I have the requirement to use the "Hard_Coded" Random Access File system (ie. going back to the good old days).

I want to implement a shared record locking system and use the lock/unlock statements that are available in VB6.

However, good old MSDN quotes

Quote:

---

Caution Be sure to remove all locks with an Unlock statement before closing a file or quitting your program. Failure to remove locks produces unpredictable results.

---

So a question... What would happen if the power went or (God forbid) the App should crash before unlocking the record. Is there a way to fully reset the records?

Thanks, in advance, for your help!
