Preventing multiple edits of the same form

I have a custom outlook form that is used by many users. The forms once
created are stored in a public folder. People can edit the forms. However
when a form is edited by more than one user at the same time I receive a
conflict message which asks me to select a copy of the form to keep.

Is there anyway to prevent two people editing a form at the same time? The
form has vbscript code behind it so I just wonder if we can somehow tell if
the form is being edited by a users, and if another user tries to edit the
form the code would display a message and prevent the user from saving the
form. Is this possible?

Thanks
 
Damn good question. I spent a long time figuring this one out - I can share
a form of mine where I solved this. Do you have a personal e-mail address
that I can send you it?
