error message reading could not lock

[Rochell]

when ever someone logs into my database, and another person tries to access the same database in the same location, it displays "COULD NOT LOCK FILE"

I have split the database, and that doesn't seem to work. I have had to resort to setting up different folders for each individual with a copy of the database inside their prospective folders. each of these databases are linked to the original database, but I would like to resolve the problem of users being unable to access the same database at the same time.

Hello Rochell

When the first user is able to open a database and subsequent users cannot
get in, this is often due to improper network permissions on the folder in
which the database is located. Each user must have Full permissions (Read,
Write, Create, Delete, Execute) on the folder in which the database is
located. This is required so that Access can properly manage the LDB file
that is created when the first user opens the database.
