Beside all the stuff already mentioned, take into account that access
components might be able to set the forced write property as well.

For example IBObjects has a property at TIB_Connection level, which
allows you to work with the forced write option. It happened to me one
time that I set the property to False by accident (double-clicking in
the object inspector) which leads to disable forced writes.
