I have a Calendar created that multiple users are using and editing at the same time. The problem is that a user can have the form open and adding text in fields, and then goes to save, and the system tells the user that someone else has made changes, and the changes this user has just made will not be able to be saved. So they go back and refresh and all those changes are gone. At the very least I would like the system to let the user know BEFORE they go into edit, that the form is already open and bieng edited, not after they have typed a bunch of information. Anyway to lock a user out if the form is already open?

Maybe you could require check-in/out for that list?

Calendars don't have check in/check out.

They don't OOB, but you can probably add a Status field that changes when the EditForm is opened. Basically, the Edit form opens and JavaScript updates the Status field and submits with a redirect to the same page (OR better, updates the field through a web service call to avoid the page "flash").
On the list view(s), you remove links where the status field is CheckedOut and/or create a calc_column to display the status as the Calendar Event title.
It's a hack, but it could save some pain.
