Eva,
Next time just restart your computer. That closes any lock files that
didn't clear properly when the file was closed.
The alternative, if you are comfortable with doing it, is looking
through your Data Folder and deleting any files with an ldb extension.
You have to make sure you are only deleting LDB files and not FDB files.

Thank you Chris,
but it didn't work at all.
Fortunately I had all my 160.000 people and pictures well saved, so I
deletet Legacy and did a complete new installation of Legacy. Now it
works again!

A 'File could not be locked' error usually applies when opening an
Access database which the system thinks is already open. Access
creates a lock file xxxx.ldb when it opens a file and removes it when
it closes. The main Legacy database, xxxx.fdb, is actually an Access
database and opening that will create the xxxx.ldb file. If it is
still present after the program is closed it will stop the file being
'reopened'. Sometimes clears after a reboot or might to be deleted
manually after a reboot. May also apply to the xxxxx~hdb.hdb and some
of the various zzzz.dbm files that Legacy uses.

Subject: [LegacyUG] Legacy update still not working
Hallo all,
I downloaded the update via my existing program (German). Download was
ok, the new version is existing on my laptop now. But when I try to open
the program I get following message:
Error Opening Message File - Datei konnte nicht gesperrt werden
I never wanted to "sperren" (means lock) the data.
I tried the download again - without a firewall, nothing changed.
I don't know where to look for this message. Can anybody help?
Eva
