The correct answer is: B. Open Exclusive locks whole database so that no one can access it whereas Open locks only the record that is being accessed.
The Open
statement opens a database file for reading or writing. The Open Exclusive
statement opens a database file for exclusive use, which means that no other user can open the database file until the current user closes it.
Option A is incorrect because the Open
statement can be used to open database files of any type, not just Access database files.
Option C is incorrect because the Open
and Open Exclusive
statements are different. The Open
statement allows multiple users to access the database file at the same time, while the Open Exclusive
statement only allows the current user to access the database file.
Option D is incorrect because the Open Exclusive
command does exist in MS Access.
