The form is not based on any table. It is a variable form. The variable list view object in the form is based on a table and this table is where I am seeing the row lock.

The variable lookup list view is the only object in the database that is linked to this table. Some eeps do insert rows, but nothing would set a continuous lock to my understanding.

If the list view does not set a lock, can a lock somehow get "stuck" and not release? This table shows a row lock 100% of the time, but the only object accessing it is the list view.

The trick is that you should NOT attach the form to the table used by the listview. If the form is based entirely on the listview and doesn't directly display data, it can be a variable (table-less) form, or you can base it on a one-row dummy table. The table from which the list view draws its data should not be the driving table. If you do this, the table from which the listview draws its data will not get locked.
