I don't see how the locking problem is a CM concern.  I mean that you will
have to solve the locking problem at the level of storing the new data before
you need to worry about multilpe GUI's trying to read the file to see what
needs to be changed. Wouldn't a working multiuser data base have some sort of
locking solution that we could borrow??
