anybody knows how to switch off the Write cache in Access 2000 using
Delphi5/ADO ? I have two cooperative programs running - one puts a new
record into the Database and sends a Message to the second program to grab
this record. Very often, the second program can't find that record, seconds
later it can.

MSDN says, Microsoft has put this caching mechanism into Access for speed
purposes, but doesn't tell me how to switch it off.

Thanks for ideas,

For Jet 3.5 (using MS Access 95/97):
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Jet\3.5\Engines\Jet 3.5\PageTimeout

For Jet 4.0 (using MS Access 95/97):
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Jet\4.0\Engines\Jet 3.x\PageTimeout

For Jet 4.0 (using MS Access 2000/2002):
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Jet\4.0\Engines\Jet 4.0\PageTimeout

I also recommend to set the ImplicitCommitSync to yes in multi-user
environments.
