exclusive access to the database error

[Guest]

Hi.

We are receiving the error message "You do not have exclusive access to the
database at this time. If you proceed to make changes, you may not be able to
save them later" mentioned in this article

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/839782

However we donot have two .ldb files or a .mdw file with same name. I have
no clue why this error message is occuring. The database is Access 2003
database on a shared folder used by upto 40 users simultaneously. Previously
there was no issues. The users migrated from Office 2000 to 2003 in january
and that's when after they started noticing this. Right now, the first user
can access the database in the shhared folder normally. This error occurs
when the second user and subsequent users try to login in......

If you know aything baout this please let me know.

Split your database. URGENTLY.

A2003 is (in my experience) more sensitive to user contention than 2000 was.
But for ANY version of Access, having multiple users sharing the same frontend
is *bad news*.
