Hi everyone,
I have a database that i designed for a department that has approx 8 users.  
It is setup on a shared drive with FE and BE.  All users have read and write
access to folders.  Each user has a seperate copy on their desktop that they
access.  My users from time to time receive the message, "Couldn't update;
currently locked by user" when they try to save a record.  Here is the
setting i am using:
Access 2003
Default open mode Shared
Default record locking Edited Record
OLE/DDE timeout 30
Refresh interval 60
number of update retries 2
ODBC refresh interval 1500
Update retry interval 250

I have not found anywhere with a clear cut solution to this problem other
than having all users logout.  I have done this and when the problem does
occur this does not resolve the issue.  I have heard suggestions of changing
the Refresh Interval from 60 to 2 sec?  Will that help?  Also i have heard to
have individual copies repaired and compacted?  Will that work?  Any feedback
is appreciated.
