John,

Here's more but your testing is probably the most "real" thing you've got.

Jack,

So this clearly states that page level locking is used for
Memo data.  It does not address whether memos from multiple
records can be stored on the same page, though I am certain
that it is.  It also plainly states that both ADO and DAO
will use page level locking for memos.

Now the problem is that I have built a database to demo this
stuff and it is NOT honoring the locks when updates are made
to records with locks in place (records opened and an edit
begun).

My recordsets attempting to edit a record already being
edited is allowing the second edit, clear through to the
data store.
