Wow that is all greek to me. How do I check the file lock and all
that stuff?
From the help file of 2003 version:
When a user edits a record, Microsoft Access can automatically prevent
others from changing that record until the user has finished editing it.
Giving one user exclusive access to a record is called locking.
a.. Under Default record locking, do one of the following:
To prevent locking of records while you edit them, click No locks.
To lock all records in the form or datasheet (and the underlying tables)
while you edit them, click All records.
To lock only the record you're editing, click Edited record.
As I recall different version have slight variations in their record
locking. I believe that earlier version locked pages not records (see last
line of the help file information above). That might include more than one
record.
