Cannot open database

[Andy123]

Hi,

Apologies if I'm missing something obvious but I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction with my problem. I try and open my database but get the following response from the system.

The Microsoft Jet database engine stopped the process because you and another user are attempting to change the same data at the same time

I am on a stand alone PC trying to open a database which only I use.
Any ideas how I can get this database open please ?

Regards,
Andy

Have you set any startup options? If true, try bypassing startup options by pressing the shift key while openning the app.

Hi Ali,

Thanks for the reply. As far as I'm aware no startup options are set, have have tried opening the application with the shift key held down but I still get the same response.

Hi Andy,

I cannot figure out what is preventing your DB from opening.

Try exporting all objects of the DB to a new DB and see if the new DB will work.

Hi Andy,

As you cannot open your DB, create a new blank DB and import all objects (tables, forms reports, macros, modules, etc) from your non functional DB to this new DB. It may solve your problem.
