I need to have multiple users view and edit information at the same time and
when someone is already logged in I get this message
"The database has been placed in a state by user <name> on machine <name>
that prevents it from being opened or locked. (Error 3734)" How do I get past
this.
Please Help!!!

Never mind I figured it out...Thanks anyways

Hi Christene

Go to Tools>Options and, on the "Advanced" tab, change the default open mode
from "Exclusive" to "Shared".
