It is an issue with Access that has long tradition.
Access stalled if this happend regardless of the server dbms.
A user had to kill Access with the taskmanager.

Someone sugested to have an invisible form that has a timer to ping the
db-server every 5 minutes or so.

AFAIK it is a Jet bug and got fixed in the last update of the Jet-db engine.
Look für Jet update revision 8.
