All of a sudden everytime I go to make changes in my database I get a
mesage that I don't have exclusive rights.... This is a database in
development on a stand alone machine. Whats going on?????
Thanks

* Close the database and exit from Access.
* Check and ensure that MSAccess.exe is not in the memory of your PC (just
in case that there is a "dead" instance of Access still connecting to the
database). Alternatively, you can reboot your PC to clear the memory.
* Check the directory where the Dabase file with MDB extension resides. In
your find a file {databaseName}.LDB (which is a locking file), delete this
file. Make sure you don't delete the MDB file.
* Try to open the database again and see if you can modify.

Yes. It is entirely possible that a subsequent opening and closing of the
database will clear the LDB and exclusive/shared won't be a problem after
that.
