We have recently upgraded to windows/Office Xp, and as a personal point of view, I think it is utter crap, I get the same message when trying to compact and repair, also we have had the same program die 3 times since upgrading our software and hardware....

	Compact/Repair doesn't work in XP when file on the network

Recently upgraded to Windows XP and Office XP.  MDB files now will not
compact and repair when they are located on the network.  Error message
says the file is already in use even if the file is not open by any
other users at the time.  This message happens in Access XP 2000 file
format and Access XP 2002 file format.  It does not happen when the file
is on the C drive.  I have not been able to recreate this in an adp
file.  Making things a bit more confusing, occassionally, files do
compact and repair even on the network.  Haven't found any similarities
with this.  Anybody had experience with this or know anything?  Can't
find anything about it in KB.

Thanks.
