Hard to say without being there. Access/Jet is not a server, and it
depends on who/what other processes may be using it and locking
tables, etc.

It might help us identify the problem if you could post the error and line of code on which it
occurs.

In addition, I would highly recommend using the Jet OLEDB provider instead of using the Access ODBC
driver.
