Hello folks,

I'm so ashamed of this question. I think it is quite easy and I tried to find the answer by searching the forum but no success.

I would really appreciate the help.

I have linked an Excel table as a database and now I can't open the original Excel file once the linked database is open in access.

Why is that and how can I get around this?

Many thanks in advance

Marino

You dont get around this.

Access has the excel file open and excel files are not build to be used by multiple persons at the same time.
