I can only access my database if I'm the first to open it.

Hello All,
I have 2 dtatbases, on a network share, that I cannot open if I'm not
the first one. If I log out of either and try to get back in...no luck!
I have to have everyone else get out so I can get back in and use the
databases again. No one else has this isssue.

What's happening?

Check that you have full permissions (read, write, create and delete) on the
network folder where the databases are located.
All other users need these permissions, too.

Hey MacDermott,

I checked the sharing and security.
The user has full controll on both sides, and is the owner of both DBs.
Still a no-go.
What do you think?

Here's the best I can tell you:

When a database is opened for shared access, a file is created in the same
directory, with the same name, but an .ldb extension. If that file cannot
be created (usually because of permissions), the database is opened for
exclusive access, and no other user(s) can open it. So I'd suggest checking
whether the .ldb file is being created...
