[AccessDevelopers] Re: Can't open database

Check the folder permissions on the folder the database is in. If one of the users or both have read-only permission then you will have this problem. The reason why is MS Access needs to create a locking file, or .LDB file, to track who is in and who is out of the database. MS Access will not be able to create this file is a user who accesses it only has readd-only permission to the folder the database resides within.

Hope this helps and is the problem, because that would be easy to fix.
