Question : How to open a database in Exclusive Mode

The only ways I know to open databases in exclusive mode are:
- Open the MS Access application (rather than an Access file), select an Access file, hit File/ Open, click on the arrow on the Open button, and select Open  Exclusive.
Add this switch to the string that opens the database: /EXCL .

Are there any other ways?

Like so:

    Dim db As DAO.Database
    Set db = OpenDatabase("YourMdbName", True)
   
The two you mentioned plus this one are the only ones I'm aware of.  Well, there is also the OpenCurrentDatabase method also with the same Options parameter (True).
