I have a database that is stored on the network and is accessed by multiple
users. I have recently started having a problem where I get the following
message
" You do not have exclusive access to the database at this time. If you
procees to make changes, you may not be able to save them later." I am going
crazy trying to troubleshoot this message that is "new" to us. The person
has to acknowledge the message 15 times and then they are in. As I am going
through the troubleshooting process I am realizing that my complaints are
mostly limited to users machines on which i installed Adobe Acrobat Writer
7.0 standard. I noticed that it adds a toolbar to Access for exporting
reports.
I did a few things that have helped some, but have not resolved the issue.
I installed SP-3 for Office 2000, and installed the latest update from Adobe.
Now I get the error message once. I read online that user's need full
control of the folder the file is stored in, but we have never given users
that, and we have not had this problem in the past.
If I open access and then choose open and browse to the file and
specifically select open and NOT open exclusively, it opens without error.
If however I use a shortcut or just browse to the file and double-click it
gives the error message. I think that the adobe add-in somehow tells access
to open the file with exclusive rights.
How can I disable the Adobe plug-in for ms access to see if that will
resolve the issue? How can I get rid of this message? Is there a switch I
can put in the shortcut that would specify just to open the file and not open
it exclusively?
