Stop combo box refreshing

I have a form with a combo box on it, used to select staff members.

When I select a staff member it displays a list of tasks assigned to this staff member in a sub-form.

This is all working as I want - however, when another user (on another computer) selects a different staff member from the combo box, after a short time, that second staff member is displayed on my screen and consequently the second users tasks are aslo displayed.

How can I stop this combo box updating every time someone else selects a value?
 
I would think that maybe making edits exclusive would work. make it so that only one person can work on a record at a time, then it wouldnt try to take the other users record and bring you to it. You may have to tell it on err to stay where it is.
