I have made that alteration Thanks I have not made any system.mdw files. I wanted SQL in the first place but was told no. I will forward this e-mail to my FD Thanks again.

Individual or workgroup-shared system.mdw? However that database is getting big enough that you should be starting to think about some form of SQL as the back end. That'll avoid all of the issues you're having.

Try creating the lock file (copy nul: database.lck), and settings its access permissions to RWX ONLY! for everyone including admins.

I have an Excel Application that uses an access database via ODBC ADO. I have about 6-7 users on this and I am constantly getting "Database Exclusively locked" or "Too Many Active Users" error messages even when there is only 1 person using it. I am also getting random database locking on 3 other databases. The only common thing to all this is all running on the same Terminal Server 2000 SP3 (was doing it before SP3 hoping it would fix it) and all the databases are on the same file server with different shares. Any ideas please Rolph Macphie ********************************************** This weeks sponsor 99Point9.com 99Point9 helps solve your unresolved technical server-based questions, issues and incidents. http://www.99point9.com *********************************************** For Archives, to Unsubscribe, Subscribe or set Digest or Vacation mode use the below link. http://thethin.net/citrixlist.cfm ********************************************************************** This email may be confidential and/or privileged.
