User brings up Lead in SFDC website - starts to edit.
Behind the scenes, we notice a data change that causes us to push an edit up to the Lead using the SFDC API.
Original user goes to save Lead, and gets an error saying that the Lead has already been updated.
Is there any way to detect through the API that a Lead is currently being edited, and thus avoid this error?
Thanks in advance,
Ian

Not often - but would love to try to eliminate it if possible. I was scanning the docs and thinking about SFDC's object model and basically had arrived at the same conclusion.
Thanks!
