[RESOLVED] ACCESS 2003 can't run as exclusive

[motobizio]

Hello to all

I have an ACCESS 2000 mdb file with some code inside.
In the old computer, where ACCESS 2000 was installed, there wasn't any problem to open it in exclusive mode.
Now I am trying to open it in exclusive mode in the new computer where ACCESS 2003 is installed but the software tell me that it can't be opened in exclusive mode because someone else is using it. But this is false!
The database i am trying to open is in locale, on my pc.

Does anyone know why?

Thanks in advance

Check whether .ldb file exists. If exists - try to delete it before opening .mdb

Hello

There is any .ldb file in .mdb directory. It is be possible that this file is created in different directory?

Thank you

Determine who opened a Microsoft Office Access 2003 database in the exclusive mode

Hello

I followed the guide, but I have noticed nothing special.
I also opened .ldb file with a notepad, and in there i found that only one user (I) is using the DB.
This drive me crazy!!!!

Thank you for your help!

Did you try to delete .ldb before opening .mdb?

[motobizio]

I don't have any .ldb file before to open the .mdb.
This is really my issue.
This problem may be related to the .mdb password?

I don't know. I never worked with Access 2003 (only 97 and 2000)

After 1 day of tests, I solved it. I created a new ACCESS 2003 database in which I imported all the material from old DB. And now all works well, finally.

Thank you VictorN for your help.

Best regards
