Error: The database has benn placed in a state by........

P

Patty G.

I have an Access 2000 database. When the database is opened in Access 2003
and then I try to open it simultaneously in 2000, I get the message: "The
database has been placed in a state by user Admin on machine "XXXXX" that
prevents it from being opened or locked.

If I reverse the process and open the database in 2000 and then
simultaneously try to open it on the 2003 machine it opens fine.

How do I fix this problem?????

Look under Tools... Options... Advanced... and make sure the database
Default Opening Mode is set to shared.
