I am not aware of any explicit lock we do in our driver, but of course it might be that just a connection with "default settings" we do already does a full lock. And yes, ADO might be worth consideration here (at least because ADO is more future-proof for accessing MDB files, since my impression is that ODBC has been put on hold in facor of ADO, in terms of developement).
