Record Locking Not Working from ODBC

From the MSDN record locking article:

"Data in a form, report, or query from an Open Database Connectivity (ODBC) database is treated as if the No Locks setting were chosen, regardless of the RecordLocks property setting."

This is what is occurring for me - no locking seems to take place regardless of the Access locking settings.

I have a form that retrieves one record at a time for users to edit. When they click the next record button I need them to go to the next record that is not currently open by another user.

Surely there is a workaround for this? Can I connect to the MSSQL data from Access using a method other than ODBC?

Thanks in advance.
