why do we have periodic delays writing to a networked mdb

K

We have an NT wkstn which writes to a table on an mdb on our Win2000 server

It writes to this table about twice per second ..for hours on end

We've noticed that periodically (sometimes every 36 writes for example), but sometimes not periodically (it may go several hundred writes before this event occurs), the standard write time of 10 milliseconds or 20 milliseconds changes to 252ms or occasionally even 500 ms

This 250 and 500 are interesting in that they are equal to the default RETRY INTERVAL of 250ms and its RETRY ATTEMPTS of 2. The pc which is making these writes is running a RUNTIME version of Access97

The records are quite small..and the number of records in the interval x #of bytes does not come close to the 2k page lock

But still there appears to be some sort of LOCKING ISSUE here ... which occurs often with exact frequency (ie.. of 35 writes), and then other times that frequency may be 85 writes ...and then sometimes there is no identifiable frequency at all

Can anyone shed some light on this anomoly

thx
