Same problem...

I am having the same problem and I'm sure I can clarify for the original poster.

I have a split Access Database and still have this problem. For argument sake, call them FrontEnd.mdb and BackEnd.mdb.

When a user has FrontEnd.mdb open, I can't open either FrontEnd.mdb and BackEnd.mdb. This all used to work dandy until I upgraded from Win2K pro to WinXP.

Basically, if there is an LDB file open for ANY access database, I am unable to open it on my XP machine. Once that LDB file disappears (I.e. all other users exit), I can open it just fine.

What permissions do you have on the folder where the database files exist?
(You need at least Read, Write and eXecute, and usually Delete as well).

Is it possible that your Access is set to open exclusively? (Look on the
Advanced tab under Tools | Options)
