The Microsoft Jet database engine cannot open the file..... it is already
opened exclusively by another user, or you need permission to view its data??

this is the message i am getting - the database is not opened by anyone at
the time - what do i need to do to run reports out of it>?
 
Hi - if it is a multi-user DB then it could be that the .ldb file ( the one
that keeps track of who has it open ) did not get deleted and still thinks
someone has the DB open. Exit and make sure all users are out, then go to the
folder containing your DB and check, and delete it. The .ldb will have the
same name as the DB and You do need to be the same user.

Hi Hershey - where does the error appear - when you load the DB or when
trying to open a particular Table, form, etc?
 
Thank you for you time and help -- it seems that someone had imported a table
from a folder that no one had access to!
Thanks again
