"Too many active users"

I have a rather odd problem that I'm at a loss to explain.

The mdb is in A2K2 format, and has many tables linked to around 3-4
different back end mdbs. It is running on a Win2K3 server (set up as a TS
application server, if that's relevant).

The process that is running is producing a large number of reports,
sometimes to .snp format, sometimes to printer. When trying to access one
particular mdb, it will come up with the error "<mdb file> in use" or "Too
many active users". This latter one has only come up recently.

The odd thing is that the only thing it is trying to do at this point is a
DCount. When the error message occurs, I can resume code execution and it
runs properly. I *could* error trap that message and resume, but I would
rather get to the bottom of this.

The error is intermittent. When I run the test without other users using the
same data, the error does not occur. The front end is not shared.

Any ideas would be appreciated.

Get everyone out of the database. If the .ldb file
still exists, you have found the problem: delete it.

DCount creates a separate connection to the database:
it appears that connection is failing.
