    locked out

    Hi,

    We have been using access for some time to write school reports. What I
    have written is pretty amateurish, but it does the job! Recently it has
    been falling over an I don't know where to start in locating the problem.
    It tells one user that the database is being used exclusively by another
    user. When this user comes out, it then says it has been left in a state
    where it needs repairing. Usually, it can them be repaired, but sometimes
    it even then that it cannot be repaired because it is being used. I can
    copy and repair it then, but then acn't even delete the orignal. All I can
    do is lock it and hide it and save the new one with a slightly different
    name so staff can go on using it.

    Any ideas would be appreciated.

    Thanks in advance


Working...
