Who's linking to my data base

[Guest]

in a data base that i have created people are haveing trouble accessing the
front end. they say that they keep getting a message box that states they
can not lock the records. I suspect that an unknown party has linked to one
of my tables and they are preventing others from viewing the data. how do
find out who has linked my tables or prevent links.

THE front end???

Each user should have their own copy of the front end.

they say that they keep getting a message
box that states they can not lock the records. I suspect that an
unknown party has linked to one of my tables and they are preventing
others from viewing the data. how do find out who has linked my
tables or prevent links.

I suspect that if you get everyone to log off and take a look at the
folder where the database(s) are located you will find at least one
FILENAME.LDB file. Delete it. Also make sure every user has full access
to the directories involved (read edit create and delete).

If they don't all have a front end on their own machines, change that.
Life will be better.

I have been using Microsofts LDB viewer and it can provide me with
information about what computer name has been or is in the data base. some
times the message I get for example is; user "bb3305", signed in "no",
suspect "yes". but I can not tell if someone has created a link to any of my
tables in the Back end. (by the way i do have resources available for be to
find the person who is user "bb3305")

I would not swear to it, but I believe the LDB viewer records all linked
users. At least in my case with user level security active it recorded all
users.
