    how to deal with fast users ?

    Hi,
    i'll try to explain the scene,
    we have build a software that work with database,  Client Server three tiers architecture,
    the problem is that in a complex input like order details, when the user input an item,
    there is an algorithm in the server/DB that send the price to the client (into the price field),
    we also allow the user to put/enter different price.
    some users work very fast and by the time
    the algorithm send the price to the client, after they enter the item, press enter/tab and enter their price, the price from the algorithm erase their price...so they have to go back and change it again.
    i do not want to lock the KB. this is one of many cases like this.
    any suggest   ???
    Thank U
    Ram

    Either disable the input field during wait or store the original value and when the price is returned from database compare the original value with actual value - so you'll know whether user typed a custom value and act accordingly.
