Why is my select query trying to lock a table?

I have a query that is made up of 3 tables. One of these tables has a compound key of 3 fields, two of which are linked to the primary key in the other two tables. It is a select query, yet whenever I run it, I get a message telling me that it cannot lock one of the tables because another user has it locked (which is true). The confusion is coming in the fact that this is a select query and has no reason to be locking the table. Anyone have any ideas?

Be sure the other user locks only edited record.

Hope This Helps, PH.

Hey PHV,

I'm not sure exactly what you mean by that. Can you explain further?
