MDBs won't open

[Razor]

Hi,

We have a couple of copies of a database that seem to have
been corrupted.

One gives the msg "Already in Use" and the other
gives "The Jet database engine stoped the process because
you and another user tried to change the same data at the
same time."

These error messages do not reflect the current situation.

One of them prompted me to repair the db, but it still
didn't launch.

Can I somehow open these files?

Thanks,

Razor

Correct.
