Sharing a database
I created a database on a network drive that would allow three users to gain
access. However, only one user is able to get in the database at a time. If the database is occupied and another user tries to get in--they'll receive an message that says "Could not lock file." Not sure what I did when I set this thing up, but I could use a viable solution or suggestion

Check your settings in Tools Options Advanced, and look at your settings
for Default Open Mode and Default Record Locking. That is where your problem is, most likely, originating.

The more common issue is the inability of the first user in to create the
LDB file. All users must have create and delete permissions on the folder containing the MDB file. -- Duane Hookom MS Access MVP "Sharkbyte" - wrote in message ...

Very true, Duane. I entirely skipped the first sentence, where he/she states this file is on a network drive. =) Sharkbyte "Duane Hookom" wrote: The more common issue is the inability of the first user in to create the LDB file.
