Error "Could not use [table filename]; file already in use"

Any suggestion or comments?

Typically, this error occurs when ther are insufficient permissions on the
server. Every user needs to be able to create and delete files or the LDB
(locking file) cannot be used. If the LDB file cannot be created, only 1
user can connect to the database at a time.
