Another ODBC 5.0 question-resolved

Hi all,

going thru the list, I found this message which applies to a situation I'm
having here too.

Setting the Isolation Level to READ UNCOMMITTED in a System DSN effectively
solved the problem.

The difference is that I want to use a File DSN, and it doesn't seem like I
can set the Isolation Level parameter directly from the ODBC manager.

So, is there anyway to edit the File DSN to manually set this parameter, or
do I absolutely have to use a System DSN ?

Best regards,

In regards to the error message I posted ysterday: Failure getting
record lock on a record from table [Vantage Table Name] (#-210015).

I submitted this question to Tech support also and got the answer
this moring which i tested and works. So, in case anyone else comes
accross this, the solution is:

Go to the Advanced tab of the ODBC DSN and change the Default
Isolation Level to:"Read Uncommitted" This will allow you to get
records even when the table is locked.
Ever since the upgrade to 5.0, when I run access queries and reports, I
occaisonally get the error:

Failure gettign record lock on a record from table [Vantage Table Name]
(#-210015).

When I check the locks, that table is indeed locked, but why does that
prevent an access report from running, I'm not trying to update data.

I never got this on 4.0. Does anybody know if there is some kind of setting
that lets me query records even if they are locked?

Boy, that's a new one Sarah. I've never seen that error in 5.0 at all.
