<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Subject: [AccessD] ODBC connection to
AS400</FONT></DIV></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial><BR><FONT size=2></FONT></FONT></DIV><FONT face=Arial
size=2>> Using the IBM client Access ODBC driver I have links to tables
residing on<BR>> the AS400. If I open these tables to view the AS400 gives me
exclusive use<BR>> of the file. The problem is it never releases the table
for use by others<BR>> until I quit Access. Does anyone know how to release
the table? Similarly,<BR>> if someone has use of the table and I try to open
it I get an ODBC<BR>> connection failed error. What is the correct way to
trap for this error? TIA<BR>> Jim Hale<BR>> <BR>> <BR>>
