Conversion from Access 97 to Access 2000

[Carla Post]

I have recently converted our database files from Access
97 into Access 2000.

Now the database files that could be opened and updated by
multiple users at a time can no longer be updated. A
message "You do not have exclusive access to the database
at this time" and it will not allow you to make changes
until all other users are signed off.

Any suggestions??

Access 2000 doesn't allow changes to design objects (forms, reports, etc.)
unless you have exclusive access to the database. You can, however, make
data updates.

What are your users trying to update when they get the failure?
