Locking a shared database

[Matt Moore]

I'm having trouble with a database that when I open it, it
doesn't let anyone else open it. I have the option
selected so that the default opening method is "Shared".
I plan on using a Workgroup file to delegate security in
the near future when I ready to implement it. Will I
still have the same problem then? What's the problem now?

Thanks ahead of time....

Sincerely,

Matt

All users need full permission on the folder where the mdb is, so that they
can create/delete the associated ldb file.

Good suggestion - is there anything else that I could be
doing wrong?

I suppose you could be opening via a shortcut that specifies /excl switch -
open exclusively.

You could be opening via File, Open, and choosing Open Exclusively.
