Remarks
Use the IsolationLevel property to set the isolation level of a Connection object. The IsolationLevel property is read/write. The setting does not take effect until the next time you call the BeginTrans method. If the level of isolation you request is unavailable, the provider may return the next greater level of isolation.
Remote Data Service Usage When used on a client-side Connection object, the IsolationLevel property can be set only to adXactUnspecified.
Because users are working with disconnected Recordset objects on a client-side cache, there may be multiuser issues. For instance, when two different users try to update the same record, Remote Data Service simply allows the user who updates the record first to "win." The second user's update request will fail with an error.
