Apple events error: "Data is being accessed by another user, script, or transaction" (-10011)

This error can be generated if:

•	the Apple event is processing one or more records, and processing is prevented because another user has one or more records locked up

•	access privileges prevent some records from being modified

•	an Apple event arrives while a script is being processed

•	other, similar events occur while a transaction is taking place

For Apple events that fail for one of these reasons, the locked/protected records will be skipped and an error will be returned at the end of the transaction.
