COM+ locking problem in MTS

I'm currently having a locking problem with COM+ components running in MTS and that are using a SQL-Server 2000 database.

These components are involved in a single MTS Transaction that sequentially will execute a few SELECT's, an UPDATE, an INSERT or a DELETE statement on the database.

Everything works fine until the INSERT is executed. Although the INSERT's SQL syntax is correct, it does not execute on the database and the new record isn't created.

After debugging I found a series of locks on the database that seem to be blocking this table however the application does not raise an error.

Does anyone have an idea on where to look to solve this problem?

It is possible that your components are using SetAbort. Deadlocks are never this predictable.

Can you execute the INSERT from the Query Analyzer?

make sure that you are not using any ado batch update functionality.  this is a common cause of locking.  Also make sure that your tables have good indexes.  poor indexes will cause locking when it is not needed.
