John, probably of no help, but I occasionally run into a nasty locking error that's cleared only by closing down Access, and rebooting. Somehow, the system seems another instance of the database running, when there isn't and I can't do anything until I delete that "phantom" instance. I've no idea what causes it. I didn't read the entire thread, so if this is way off, just ignore it. Susan H. Hmmm... I am updating a FK field that of course has an index. I just removed the index on this field, saved the tables, and tried again, still getting the locking of surrounding records.
