avoiding locking

O

ode555

Hi, I need to write a small app that polls an old but quite critica
multiuser Access 97 database.

Does a read operation set any locks to database that could preven
other users from using it?

I intend to use ODBC to access the db, does linking the tables from
local .mdb help or is it the same if I run the queries directly to th
.mdb on a network drive?

Thanks for info
