I have an Access2000 db run across a network connection using the standard VB6.0 db connection tool located in the toolbox, the problem is how do I make the software release the mdb unless the user does a browse, add new, search etc, in other words, just by having the app open, hold the db open and shows that file with the ".ldb" extension in the network folder. I need to be able to keep it closed becasue as you can imagine, it creats weird things when 2 or 3 users are in there.
