[AccessD] Multiple Users ADE and SQL

Hi Team,

I have received this information:
"Citrix creates a new application instance per session. If an opened 
file creates a lock file then I don't believe there is any way around 
this short of creating multiple instances."

It seems strange that the file should be locked if separate instances 
are created.  I wonder if it is because the AccessXP application is 
being run through an Access 2003 runtime?  The Client 1 below is 
using an Access XP runtime, the other two are using Access 2003.

Regards

David
