Open Exclusive problem for 1 user

[Mary]

I have a split database where only one user is getting the error message that
the backend is opened exclusive by another user. Other users are able to
open their frontends and use the database. She gets this error when no one
else is in the database. We have repaired and compacted and verified she has
full access to the share drive. There are no ldb files and she has rebooted.
Is the file corrupt or could there be other reasons that you know of for
just one user to have this problem?

Does EACH user have a copy of the database on their workstation? If not, do
that.

Yes, they each have a copy of the frontend on their Desktop.

Try replacing her ftont-end with one of the others. If it works, her copy
was corrupt. If it doesn't, there is a permissions problem.
