Exclusive Database

C

I added the switch "\excl" to each shortcut to an Access
97 database so that only one user can be in the database
at a time. This works fine for all of the users who have
Windows 2000. I have one user who is still on Windows 95,
and when she is in the database and another user tries to
open that database, a message appears stating that the
database will now open in Shared Mode, due to a user not
having Open Exclusive Permissions. This only occurs when
the Windows 95 user is in the database, so I am assuming
that Windows 95 is causing my problem.

Is there any way to get around this, without upgrading her
computer to Windows 2000? Any assistance would be
appreciated!

Thanks - Cheryl
