It doesn't. I'm simply suggesting that it is possible you are opening the database in Access or something in Administrator/dba mode. That could be causing an exclusive lock on the database so that no sub task can then open it. i have seen this on old versions of Access. To provide excellent performance, microsoft used to load the whole database into memory if it could. And just operate mostly from there. > is it possible to obtain more > verbose error output from Python modules?
