Having scanned down through the jetlock document found here:

http://www.wotsit.org/download.asp?f=jetlock&sc=264608112

this pops out:

To utilize the information previously discussed in a way that can help 
you resolve locking issues with your application, you need to be able to 
view, understand, and decipher the locks that Microsoft Jet places.
To view the locks being placed, you need to have either a Novell NetWare 
environment, Microsoft SMS Network Monitor, or some other “network 
sniffing” tool. By having one of these utilities, particularly the 
real-time NetWare Monitor program, an administrator can view the locks 
being placed by Microsoft Jet on the .ldb file. Developers can also use 
this information to see how their code places locks on the .ldb file and 
what effects it might have in a multiuser environment.

IOW, it ain't easy and you need VERY special tools and knowledge.

'Nuff for me.
