Open Designer job that is locked - do not go to Open Job win

Designer: if trying to open a job that is locked do NOT go to the window to open another job, simply show a message stating the job is locked.

In very large projects it is possible to wait for ages for the window to open another job to appear. And I have never used the resulting OPEN option!!

Agreed, this annoys me as well.

From what I understand, it all changes under 8.0 - can someone verify?

In version 8.0 the dialog box tells you that the job is locked by another user and gives you the opportunity to open it in read-only mode. If you choose not to, behaviour remains as at version 7.5 and earlier.

Having Yes, No and Cancel on this dialog is desirable.
