“The Microsoft Jet database engine stopped the process because you and
another user are attempting to change the same data at the same timeâ€

The error message appears every time when attempts to mount the database. I
have very important data in it so please tell me what to do to save that
data.

Hold down the Shift key while you open the database.

Use Windows Explorer to check the folder containing the database. Do you have
a file with the same filename as the database but a .ldb extension? If so,
delete it (it's a Lock file indicating which users have the database open and
can be left open if you exit abnormally).

That, and as Tom suggests, hold down Shift as the database is opening to
bypass any startup code. It may be that you have code which is tripping over
its own feet.

If neither succeeds, try opening or creating a different database and using
File... Get External Data... Import to import all the objects from this
database.
