Record locks - How do I Avoid them?

[Guest]

I have a Macro that runs on a scheduler, it runs every 30 minutes and it
updates the our database.

The problem that I have is that if someone has that Table open, the macro
errors out and Locks the database.

what can I add to the macro to ignore the error and either loop until it
works or just ignore the error and close. it runs every 30 minutes and for
only a 10 hour period.

*** Side note, I want to go on vacation and not have to worry about taking
my Laptop to check for errors ***

Thanks,

the error is 3051, cannot open file, it is already open or you do not have
permissions.
