I am running a database on my c:\ drive, but just starting today, I am
receiving a "Could not lock file" error message when attempting to open the
database. I've used this database for quite some time and just now received
this message. Any ideas? Thanks!
 
Reboot the computer but do not start the database. Next open up Windows
Explorer and go to the folder that holds the database file. Is there a file
with the same name but ends in .ldb or .laccdb? If so, delete it.
