Jet OLEDB:Database Locking Mode

[John]

I am using ADO and VB with an Access db, and I set the connection string of
an ADODB.Connection with "blah blah;Jet OLEDBatabase Locking Mode=1"

After opening the Connection the ConnectionString property of the Connection
object contains "blah blah;Jet OLEDBatabase Locking Mode=0"

Any help appreciated.
