Check to see if there is an "LDB" file on the server where the database is. If that file exists, try to delete it. You may need to call in one of your IT people who does server maintenance to get rid of it.
Are you running the database directly from the server, or do you have it split into front-end (code) and back-end (data) databases? You should be working on a front-end database which is on your computer, linkekd to a back-end on a server, which would keep you and your co-workers from interfering with each other. Tobi -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Norman Pearce Sent: Monday, October 03, 2005 11:44 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [AccessDevelopers] Exclusive Use or not I am experiencing problems with a training records database that keeps telling me that I do not have exclusive use & therefore may not be able to save changes. My colleagues (2) have closed down their working copies & rebooted to clear any memory locks on their PC's. I have done the same, yet when I go into the DB and start to review form coding etc, I get the same message again. I am 100% sure that no one has the DB open. The file DB is in AC2000 format and running in a Access 2002 screen. The DB is in shared mode and no record locking set. The initial creator of the DB has long since left the organisation and is no longer contactable to assist. I know that there are system tables somewhere, but do not know if there are any settings that can or would be advantageous to change there? How do I display them anyway. Any comments would be very much appreciated. Rgds Norman Pearce Please zip all files prior to uploading to Files section. Yahoo! Groups Links ------------------------ Yahoo!
