Charlotte,

How about opening the back end in design mode. That locks out users.

Since the file in question is a backend, that would give the wrong
result if a user tried to log in.  The application would prompt them to
locate a datafile, and our help desk would get a bunch of indignant
calls!  I want the app to come back and tell the file file is locked
exclusively so they know they can't use it right now.

How about just rename the file so the users can't find it and do what
you need to do to it and rename it back again?

No, this is a utility tool I'm building, and I need the user to be able
make an ADO connection to a file, get statistics about the file and lock
out other users while he does stuff to it.

Does anyone know how to use an ADO connection to lock a database so that
no one else can log into it?  Making the connection is no problem, but
is it possible to make that connection entirely exclusive?
