Temporarily overrides values for the Microsoft Jet database engine keys in the Windows Registry (Microsoft Jet workspaces only).
Syntax

The SetOption method syntax has these parts.
| Part | Description |
|---|---|
| parameter | A Long constant as described in Settings. |
| newvalue | A Variant value that you want to set parameter to. |
Settings
Each constant refers to the corresponding registry key in the path Jet\3.5\Engines\Jet 3.5\ (that is, dbSharedAsyncDelay corresponds to the key Jet\3.5\Engines\Jet 3.5\SharedAsyncDelay, and so on.).
| Constant | Description |

| dbPageTimeout | The PageTimeout key |
| dbSharedAsyncDelay | The SharedAsyncDelay key |
| dbExclusiveAsyncDelay | The ExclusiveAsyncDelay key |

| dbUserCommitSync | The UserCommitSync key |

| dbLockDelay | The LockDelay key |
| dbRecycleLVs | The RecycleLVs key |
| dbFlushTransactionTimeout | The FlushTransactionTimeout key |
Remarks
Use the SetOption method to override registry values at run-time. New values established with the SetOption method remain in effect until changed again by another SetOption call, or until the DBEngine object is closed.
