Can't open the table for modification

I've been struggling with getting this message when I tried to change
the design of one of about 50 tables in Access 2000 database, with no
forms open which might be bound to the table, no queries referencing
the table and no security applied. All other tables could be modified

The problem was that I was opening a DAO dynaset of the un-editable
table on the Load event of the startup form and not closing it and
setting to nothing on unload. Access thought the form was still bound
to the table even after unloading and thus gave me the message. Closing
the recordset and setting to nothing on unload allowed me to edit the
table OK.
