To avoid corruption and performance issues with a
customized Access database the developer has advised that
we disable this registry setting on our file server:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Lanman
Server\Parameters
EnableOplocks REG_DWORD 0 or 1
Default: 1 (Enabled by Default)

We have other Access databases on our server. Is there
any downside or security issue to doing this?

Shouldn't be. Been there did this some years back. Best solution is to
migrate the Access backends to SQL server and be done with it.
