Where is the lock?

On of our applications is reporting a problem trying to access on a record in a table. The application is reporting that a transaction is reserved for update. The app in question hung whilst working on the record a few days ago. I'm not convinced that this is an Oracle problem, i.e. a row lock of some sort, as I've had a peek at DB level via v$lock and v_$locked_object, v$access but can't seem to find any locks on the table in question. If it is an Oracle lock of some type how can I identify it?. The database gets shutdown every night for COLD backups but the app prog in question is reporting problem for number of days now. Is it possible that some session might still be haunting around?.

Would appreciate any advice/help on this one folks?.

Sean :)
