Network problem

[Guest]

hello there!

we're deploying a vb client-server project with ms access database (.mdb).
our problem is 'the 8th client can't connect to the server with ms access
database'. the error is:

"run_time error '-2147467259 (8004005)"

"the microsoft jet database engine cannot open the file
'\\Cashier\DBMLK\MELAIKEDATABASE (1.0)\MELAIKEDATABASE (1.0)\DBRECORD
(1.0).mdb'. it is already opened exclusively by another user, or you need
permission to view its data.

thank you very much for the help you may extend to us.

Well, make sure that the 8th client (or the user logged onto that
computer) has full read, write, create and delete privilegs to the
folder

\\Cashier\DBMLK\MELAIKEDATABASE (1.0)\MELAIKEDATABASE (1.0)

and that nobody else has the database open exclusively.
