[AccessD] Locking question

Gary,

  No, you hit it right on the head.  If Access cannot create a LDB file, it
opens the MDB/MDE in exclusive mode.

Hi Bobby,

The users need to have File Creation rights in the folder that the BE
database lives in so the LDB file can be created. Is there an LDB file
being created for the BE when the first user is in there? I think with
one user it will allow access without being able to create the LDB
file but will lock out the second user? I could be out in left field
wandering in my own dream world too of course. I do know that users of
our Access databases need full file creation, change and deletion
rights in the folder or else it doesn't work.
