I do not think this is possible either. Your example is using a dictionary list. I am using a NameObjectCollectionBase. And, the item I need to lock is at level 2 at the NameObjectCollectionBase object. So, oApp.Tables is where the lock should occur. I really do not know how we can apply a lock at the second level and also with a Get/Set property approach.

So, both suggestions you sent are great but they just do not apply to the current infrastructure I have. It sounded interesting at first, especially the second one. But, while having tried to make the second one work, I realized it might make sense that it just cannot work. Unless I am missing something...
