I am using Access 2002 on a Windows 98 computer. I am
trying to filter and sort my data. However, whenever I
click to apply the filter, a message comes up that
says "The database could not lock table 'XXX#DBF" because
it is already in use by another person or process." (XXX
is the name of the file).
What am I doing wrong? I've filtered this exact same
database on computers with Windows XP with no problems.
Is there another program on this computer that is
interfering with it? Do I need to install a driver?

I'd appreciate any help!

Close the database, and then verify that the ldb file get's deleted. Delete
if needed. Repair and compact, and try again.
