I am the administrator of the database, I am in the Admins Group with no
permissions for the Users group. When I try to open the backend or the
frontend in exclusive mode, it is set for Shared Access for the database. My
log-in pops up, I enter my password and click OK, it comes back with " can't
open database in exclusinve mode because a user is logged in or I don't have
exclusive rights. I am stumped, no one is in the database, either in the
front end or the backend. Any Ideas.

When the database is closed, and no one else is in it, open Windows Explorer
and see if there is a ldb file in the same folder as the mdb.  If you see
it, delete it.  Try opening the mdb again.

There is NOT an Ldb in the server location where the frontend and backend are
located.

I have not heard of a message with that particular text.  If you are certain
that no one else has the database open, then I am unsure of what else it
could be.

I am back to the LDB issue now, when I logged in and checked the LDB with
Office 97 file LDB.exe it is NOT seeing the machine that is logged into the
database. Any ideas?

What is LDB.exe?  I've never heard of that.

When you log in, open Windows Explorer and go to the folder where the mdb is
located.  You should see a file with the same name as the mdb, but a ldb
extension.  Do you?

It is there, but when I use the Office97 - LDB.exe file that came under
Office97, it does not see the users that are on-line with the database open

Is this a single mdb or a split one?

If it's split, opening the frontend isn't necessarily enough to open the
backend; open a linked table.

You can also open the ldb in notepad to see who has it open; note that it'll
show any user that has had it open since the ldb was first created - they
may have logged out, but the ldb will still show them.

(never heard of ldb.exe)
