Exclusive DB access

Hi,
I'm searching a way or a method to gain exclusive access for a short time
period (minutes) to a SQL 2000 database from a VB application using ADO and
SQLDMO, in order to do some data historization and computation, and
preventing that others users may connect to the database during this time.
After searching in the SQLDMO object model, I couldn't find anything adequate
for this purpose. Is the only way to lock/unlock all the tables ?
Has anyone an idea ?
