I've noticed a couple of very nasty deadlocks on our new server lately, and
I'd like some advice on how to "ignore" them. What's happening is that
someone's machine and/or Access dies into the VB debugger in the middle of a
SELECT, and the process locks. This pretty much stops all access to the
server, and ends backups as well!

I don't see any way to prevent these problems on the user machine, so how to
I ignore them on the server? Is there some timeout I've forgot to set when we
set up the machine?

Also, when I attempt to kill the process in Manager it seems to either not
work, or take a very long time. Is this normal?
