exclusive access to the database error. Office 2003 upgrade.

[Guest]

Hi.

This access dtaabase was on a shared folder used by upto 40 simultaeous
users. There were no issues. In January they upgraded from office 2000 to
office 2003 and started getting this error. "You do not have exclusive access
to the database at this time. If you proceed to make changes, you may not be
able to save them later"

I checked teh article http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/839782
but we don't have the same situation. There is only one .ldb file and there
is no .mdw file with the same name as ldb file. Is this related to office
2003 upgrade. The first user is able to successfully login, all the other
users that attempt to login after wards (there is one .ldb) get this error.
Before the office 2003 upgrade this error never occured.

If you have know anything about this please let me know.

Have you split the database, and given each user their own independent copy
of the front end?

If that is a new idea, see:
