Dan, Basically you close the file for a specific network connection. How you do that depends on the OS that your using. If using Win9x as a 'server', there is no easy way that's built in. There were some utilities floating around to do it, but I'm not sure if they are around anymore. For NT4/Win2000 you do it through Computer Management under admin tools, and Novell through the console.

If still the same problem reboot the machine where the database resides or clear the locks being held on the database file via the OS.

Access says another user is busy with the table. But this is not so. I can't copy the table and rename the table, I can't import it into another database, I can't use a MakeTable query to do it that way. I can copy the whole database, but that same table in the copied database refuses to be copied - or to be renamed. I can steal it with Excel - but then I lose all the lookups and the like. Anyone had this problem before please, anyone found an answer, please?
