    Question You do not have exclusive access to the database at this time

    I've researched this (and apologise if it's a stupid question :confused:), but it seems that this error message: "You do not have exclusive access to the database at this time" should only appear if I have multiple users trying to change it. This is just a school assignment, and no one else...

    Question Queries into forms without turning into a sub-form?

    I've made a query that is supposed to be fully disfunctional, I just want it to display data. But when I drag it into my form, it creates a sub-form (or form, I'm not sure) and places that there instead.
