I'm not sure, but for any referenced object, you cannot change the name without doing it in the original source. References are just links to the original.

I use only the 16-bit version, and changing the PLL library while I also have a form open always destroys the link to the library. You can also end up with some phantom pll files on your hard drive too (tmp*.pll, I think). Just close your form (and exit all runform sessions as well) when you decide to change your pll library.

About the only solution to this is to write your own On-Lock trigger. Except for that, I don't think there is any way possible to intercept the dialog that pops up when a row is locked by another user.
