 Locked record/timeout problem

We have a third party package which uses an SQL database. There is a record in one of the tables which we cannot update.

On attempting to update the record directly within SQL server we get the following message:

No row was updated.
Error Message: Timeout Expired. The timeout period elapsed.

We can update other records in the table no problem.

We're waiting for a response back from the company that support the package but I wondered if anyone on here might know what could be locking the record, and more importantly how I might be able to look at any such locks.

thanks

Most of the time it is due to any orphan uncommitted transaction.Query the dm_tran_active_transactions DMV to find out.

PBUH
