I am running an Access 2002 database (split front-end and back-end) and would
like to LOCK the database on command (to update tables and avoid crashes for
inconsistency).  Is this possible?

Please let me know, thanks.

If you want to "lock" the back-end database, you can open it directly, for
Exclusive Use. There's no other approach, of which I am aware, to lock an
entire database.
