Database keeps getting placed in a locked state

[tricard]

Good afternoon all,

I have recently been trying my hand out at the ADO model as before I
have only used DAO (just thought I would expand my knowledge a bit).
The problem I am having is that while I am executing and debugging
code, my database keeps getting put into a locked state and I cannot
seem to get it out of this state without closing MS Access and
reopening it (and this doesn't seem to always work either).

I used to have this problem with DAO, but I worked around it by
rolling back any transactions I had pending simply by referencing
DBEngine(0) and performing the ws.rollback method. I thought I would
try this on the ADO model as well, except I don't even have the
opportunity to connect without the error occurring.

The exact error is as follows (and happens right before I attempt
con.open strSQL)

ERROR CODE: -2147467259 (80004005):

THE DATABASE HAS BEEN PLACED IN A STATE BY USER 'ADMIN' [that's me] ON
MACHINE 'INTEL3G' [that's my machine] THAT PREVENTS IT FROM BEING
OPENED OR LOCKED

Any help would be appreciated and if more info is needed, then just
let me know.
