Access 2000 Runtime Version

[Frank Wagner]

I develop software for schools using a runtime version of Access 2000 to
distribute the software. One of my schools has installed something called "N
Computing" in their computer lab. This is a system that allows 6 monitors to
run off one PC. It allows them to handle 30 students in the lab with only 5
PCs.

The problem I'm having is that even if I load my software with 6 different
names, when I go to run more than one of applications, I get the error
message "Could not use application; file already in use". Does anyone know
if the runtime version of Access 2000 can only be used for one application on
a particular PC? That's the only explanation I can think of.

Any help would be appreciated

The first user to open the db didn't have "create" permissions to create the
ldb file. The ldb file is used to lock records in a multiuser db. No record
locking ability means only one user can open the db at a time. That's why
all the other users are told the db is aleady in use when they try to open it.


To fix this, give all users read, write and create permissions on the folder
where the db is located.
