I have a database wich would require more than 1 users at a time but when the first user logs on, others cant

there seems to be creation of a *.lbd file in the directory..
maybe this is why no other user can open the database... ?

Is there a way to make this database available to more than 1 users ???

thx for your help

The .ldb file you mentioned is not your problem. The problem is most likely the fact that your default setting for it is "Open Exclusive."

You need to open it, and go to Tools/Options/Advanced and select SHARED as the default.
 
Does this db have security on it? Do you get a logon screen at start up? If not you need to change Tool-Options to NOT open exclusively. If so you have to distribute a shortcut that calls the correct workgroup. More information will help diagnois the problem.

tried

The database already had the "shared" option checked...

and no there is no sucurity login
 
Before you get too involved with the db side of things, make sure your network settings allow the share.
