Message: [QUOTE="Douglas J. Steele, post: 854792"] Somehow I doubt it's the connection string: you actually have to specify something specific in order to make the connection exclusive (see what Carl Prothman has at [URL]http://www.able-consulting.com/ado_conn.htm[/URL] for samples) It's more likely that the security context under which one or the other connections is running doesn't have the appropriate permissions on the folder where the MDB file exists. All users require Change access (Read, Write, eXecute, Delete) to ensure problems such as this don't occur. [/QUOTE]
