[AccessD] Laccdb - Lock File Issues - Problem Solved

Charlotte,

We are fairly locked into using Linked Tables (no pun intended).

It sounds like if we stay with Linked Tables, Access will always use a Lock file, even though we never update any of the Linked Tables.  Is this correct?

Thanks,
Brad

I assume you're using linked tables.  If you want to avoid the lock
file, you'd need to do it differently.  You could use ADO to read data
from the SQL Server table without a link or used a stored procedure to
return the data.
