I ran into this once, devised a simple work around and it worked fine. However this was a work around, and was not perfect in my eyes but I only had to do it for about two weeks, then the page was eliminated becuase it had become obsolete.

I simply made a copy of the database. slapped a new file name on it. (accountsWeb.mdb instead of accounts.mdb) changed over the connection strings to point at the Web.mdb file which no one was ever working on (my boss and I were the only ones who knew it even existed, and she did not fully understand what I was doing) Then every night or morning, simply overwrite the web.mdb file with the other database file. Then put a line in the HTML file that used to the database to tell users that info was up to date through the previous business day. Prest-o Fix-o. Like I said this was a work around, but was quick-n-easy and worked just fine provided I remembered to copy the file everyday.
