MDE Locking Issue

[Michael_OBrien]

I have an Access Front-end that I made into an MDE file. I loaded the MDE onto a server and now there are multiple people accessing the MDE file via shortcuts on their desktop. I noticed since this update went into effect that the MDB file that the MDE file was made from is being locked when people are using the MDE file. I thought I could have made a mistake with one of the shortcuts and that a user was accessing the MDB file instead of the MDE but I had the Network Admin check and no one was in the MDB file at the time it was locked.

I'm wondering if the MDB file should be locked while a user is in the MDE file or if it's a bug?

Thanks,
Michael O'Brien

Odd problem. There are a number of other posibilities you could try.

Use the ldb viewer to see who's in the database. You can find it on the net.

You could rename your mdb file. Someone will have a problem opening the database.
