OK, I am on a job site the the are computers with MS 97
and very few at MS2000. In addition to the mess there are
some contractors using there laptops with XP.

This is the problem I created a DB in Access 97, because
that is what my computer has as many other in my team. All
of the MS97 are working fine but the 2000 and XP are
getting messenges that the DB is in use. And it is correct
it is in use but with my MS97 I could access the db even
if a 2000 or XP has logged in before. The XP and the 2000
are able to logging as long as there is no one else in it.

How can this be fixed with out switching every one to 2000
or XP? We just don't have the time to do that right know.
Is there some thing that can be change in the permissions
to allow them in the database at the same time as other
users?
 
try updating it to the newest version available (xp) then
downgrade it to 97 (so open office xp access, save it to
current version, then save it as a previous version (97), i
have not had this problem but it sounds as though
extensions are not being handled correctly with the newer
offices
