MaxLockPerFile

I have a looping routine that passes thru a file of about 300,000 records.  The routine itself is very simple but I am encountering  error -2147217887 (maxlocksperfile exceeded) when I process about 35,000 records.
I can get all the records to process by selecting 'Debug' when the error pops up then hitting the continue arrow.  The message comes up every 20,000 records but I eventually get thru them all.

I added the statement
DAO.DBEngine.SetOption dbMaxLocksPerFile, 300000 at the top of the procedure but it doesn't seem to have any effect.

Is there something else I can do to keep the error from occurring.  I've never used Begin and End Transaction but perhaps that would help in this case.  Even though I can get this to process all records by doing the 'Debug' & Continue that only works for me.  I can't turn it over to the users that way.

Here's the procedure:
