With all copies of Access closed on each PC that hits your database, do you
see a left-over file of the same name, but with the .ldb extension? If so,
try deleting this file. It is usually only 1 KB in size. You may need to
reconfigure Windows Explorer in order to see the file extensions and file
sizes.
Is your database split into a front-end (FE) and back-end (BE) files? If so,
does each user have their own copy of the FE file on their local hard drive?
Please see this document for more information:
Implementing a Successful Multiuser Access/JET Application
http://www.accessmvp.com/TWickerath/articles/multiuser.htm
Splitting a database is mentioned in the second paragraph.
Your issue could also be related to corruption. See symptom #10 in this
listing on Access MVP Tony Toews web site:
Some Microsoft Access MDB Corruption Symptoms
http://www.granite.ab.ca/access/corruption/symptoms.htm
To help prevent corruption in the future, see these two links:
Preventing Corruption (Allen Browne)

Corrupt Microsoft Access MDBs FAQ (Tony Toews)

Finally, if you suspect corruption, you can try using the method that I show
at the bottom of page 3 of a Word document that I call Access Links.doc. You
are welcome to download a zipped copy from here:

If this is due to memo field corruption, try the directions shown in the
link in item #10, in Tony's document.
Good Luck,
