Error message 3003 couldn't start transaction, to many transaction

[Guest]

When trying to start a transaction with begin.trans and db.execute in Acc
2000 I always receive the error message:
"Couldn't start transaction, too many transaction open"
(this is translated from german).

any helpful hint?

thanks in advance

Access suppports up to 5 levels of nested transactions.

When you are testing/debugging your code, it is very common to BeginTrans
and exit the code without a CommitTrans/Rollback. The result is that you are
still operating in a transaction without realizing it.

The solution is to RollBack repeatedly until you are no longer in a
transaction. Assuming you opened the transaction on the default workspace,
open the Immediate Window (Ctrl+G) and enter:
dbEngine(0)(0).RollBack
repeatedly until you get error 3034.

This issue is trap #4 in this article:

There is no command dbEngine(0)(0).RollBack with Acc 2000. Returns
error message:
"Error while compiling: Function or interface can only be used restricted or
VB isn't supporting this type of automation".

The command is working with:
dbEngine(0).RollBack


Thanks for your fast help
