[AccessD] No Exclusive Access to Make Changes

Charles,
 
But this doesn't explain why I am getting this error as I am the only
person with the app open. That's why I can't understand where this is
coming from. I wasn't aware of this change in A2K or greater, and that
is good to know, it's just that this only just started to happen. I was
working on the app yesterday and this wasn't the case then. Hmmm, I hate
these random features!!!
 
Thanks
Vlad

Vlad,
 
Starting with A2K, you have to open Access dbs in Exclusive Mode to do
any design changes.  When you double-click on an A2K or higher db you
are opening it in Shared Mode unless you saved it to open as Exclusive
Mode.  One of the ways to open it in Exclusive Mode to do design changes
is to hold down the Shift key while opening to bypass the normal startup
procedure.

Hi People,
 
I am mucking around with a totally unbound FE (AXP) app and have started
to get this error when I try to go into the design of any form:
 
"You do not have exclusive access to the database at this time. If you
proceed to make changes, you may not be able to save them later"
 
If I close the database and re-open it hold the Shift Key to display the
DB window - No Problems all is OK. As soon as I run the app and then go
to make some design changes the above dialogue box appears.
 
Have I not closed a recordset or what is going on here. Anybody had this
happen and figured out the problem...
 
Thanks in advance
 
Vlad
