Access mdb: avoid ldb w/o locking the file

I want to connect to an Access 2000 mdb without having the lock file created
(.ldb) and still be able to perform file system operations on the mdb file
while connected.
Skipping the ldb file creation can be achieved by connecting to the database
in exclusive mode.
Unfortunately this method also locks the mdb file and normal file system
operations (copying and binary reading/writing) fail.

Is there a way to avoid ldb files and still have access to an mdb file WHILE
CONNECTED?

TIA,
Andy.
