MS Access Forum / Multiuser / Networking / June 2007Only one user at time can open access file
We have an access file (.mdb) in a shared folder on the windows 2003 server. Every user can access the file from the path "K:\Customer\Cust.mdb". Our problem is that only one user at time is able to have the file open. Cust.mdb starts ok for the first user, but when the second user tries to double click the file nothing happens. It workes this way whoever person is the first or second user. Any suggestions? I don't even know if it is a Access problem or a network problem. Thanks!

Do all users have full permissions to the folder where the file resides? They need it for proper creation, updating, and deletion of the locking file. If the locking file cannot be created by the first user then the file is opened exclusively locking everyone else out. SignatureRick Brandt, Microsoft Access MVP Email (as appropriate) to...
