With a remote or key?

What do you mean by lock?

Sounds like a poorly designed sproc...

Why what's it doing that it can only be executed in a serial manner?

Sharing permanent work tables?

I might put a switch table that has only one row (using a trigger to make sure) then have the sproc update the switch to 1 when someone calls it and back to 0 when it exits.

Also have the sproc check the switch, if it's 1, exit with an "in use" message.

But still this is a bad design

MOO
