error after using compact/repair

[noi_max]

Hi there!

I used compact/repair on my database and now I get an error when I tr
to open it on my other computers over the network. It says somethin
like "Database cannot be found or is opened exclusively or you nee
permission"

what gives?

I am using Access 2000


help is appreciated

Let's try the simplest possibility first and hope it works. Make sure that
no one has the file open. Go to the directory where the file is located and
look for an .ldb file with the same name as the data file. If the .ldb file
exists while no one is using the database, delete the .ldb file and try to
open the database. If that doesn't work, then the database file has probably
become corrupted. The following links will work you through some ways to
handle that.
