Close the _connection_ to the database.
Basic snippet generated by MRI:

When I access oObj2, fuser reports the office process owning biblio.dbf.
After closing the connection, fuser reports no process.
However, I am not sure about the side effects of connection pooling or
any other office connections to the same database (spreadsheet links,
serial letters, opened forms). IMHO, it could be that other connections
still access your database after closing the connection that had been
established by your macro.
