??? BeginTrans, CommitTrans, and Rollback methods of the
Workspace object are _exactly_ for transactions -- and they're
all MS Access idioms. What do you mean by "doesn't" [support
transactions]...?
MS Access (or, to be more precise, its underlying Jet RDB
engine; Access can and often is used to front-end better RDB
engines, such as SQL Server, or its free edition MSDE, which
have no such issues) has no good support for *multi-user*
(the locking is no bloody good, etc), which I guess may well
affect transactioning too, if one IS recklessly trying to
multi-use it anyway -- may that be what you're thinking of...?
