LDB file and locking

According to an earlier posting, I've found this: "It is only a small part
of the LDB file that can be opened in Notepad. All of the locking occurs as
locked byte ranges outside the physical dimensions of the file, sp ypu will
never see it in notepad- Such apparently strange behaviour is made available
by the operating system."

Are we talking paranormal here, or can anybody explain to me how something
can be stores outside the physical dimensions of a file? Is it possible to
see it by opening the file in a hex editor?

And, which is my main question: Are there any way I can get access to this
information. That is getting information on who locks which record when?

Regards
Jan

Thank you. I already got it. But I'm still not sure how to programmatically
get information on "Who locks which record". I can see where I can find the
information, but I don't know how to access the virtual byte ranges (HEX
20000001 and above) using VBA.

There is a Jet Programmers Database Guide which might have some info
on this but AFAIK it's been out of print for a few years. Otherwise I
don't know of any sites which such information.

Thanks. Do you know any other way to get access to information on who locks
which record?
