I just upgraded my main home computer to windows xp pro
and have on it an access 2000 database that had been
shared by other windows 98 computers running access 2000.
The folder on the xp home machine is set for sharing and
gives permission to change contents. I can see and access
(read and write with Word, Excel, etc.)
everything in the folder with the exception of the access
2000 database itself. When I try to access it from a
windows 98 machine, I get the error message "The Microsoft
Jet database engine cannot open the file <name>. It is
already opened exclusively by another user, or you need
permission to view its data." or "Microsoft Access cannot
find the database file"
Note that this all worked fine when both machines were
running Win 98.
Can someone please help or point me in a useful direction?
