Q: Locking query, but don't know why

Using Access 2000

Hey all,

I have two tables, CUSTOMERS and INFO in an Access
database used by 3-5 people simultaneously. These multiple
users add/update the CUSTOMERS table through a bound form,
but don't touch the INFO table.

An admin runs a daily update query that updates only one
field in the INFO table by joining it to the CUSTOMERS
table and flagging where there's a match.

Now, usually this update query runs fine. Recently, I've
been getting locking violations. I have to kick out the
other users before running this query (whereas before, I
didn't have this problem). This doesn't make sense to me
since no one uses the INFO table and there's no locking on
just reading the CUSTOMER table, right?

What could be causing this and how do I fix it?
