I've got a user that just called our office with an A2K problem. Something happened w/the system and she had to reboot her PC, while Acess was saving...this is according to her. The problem is that her db, which I am quessing is just basic tables and basic, if any, forms, will no longer open. The error that we are getting is, "The Microsoft Jet database engine stopped the process because you and another user are attempting to change the same data at the same time." Anybody got a clue how to get into this thing? I have tried: 1) Moving the db to another directory (Stupid, I know, but I was hoping to clear any locks up that way...maybe it would see it as a whole new instance) 2) Removing any "connected" open files...the ldb...there was a hidden file that I believe was the ldb (I did it too quick to be sure...but there not usually hidden...right) 3) Renaming the file (I thought if it were looking at it, from a network file usage this might trick it. I really don't know, and as you can tell, I am grasping here. Luckilly, I haven't had very many problems since switching to Access, so I haven't had too much experience with this. When we used FoxPro...still got some...it broke everytime there was a network problem...plus some. I've still got a version of "FoxFix" on my PC that I have to drag out, every now and then.
