Hi everyone,
I am going nuts with problems I am experiancing getting remote frontend workstations to connect with a backend database on a server running win xp. The program runs fine on server, but when I try to link the remote frontend database to the backend server I get the error message saying the database has either been placed in exclusive use, or you don't have permission to view it. The funny part is that I get this message even if no one has the program open. Also I can browse through the network to the shared backend and when I try to open the file, I get the error message file does not exist, check the file directory name for accuracy ?
I have checked the options settings to ensure the backend is shared. I have also given all possible permissions on all objects for all users in the access security setup. Still no luck opening from a remote front end.
Any thoughts on areas I should check ? Also, I seem to only have the problem on winxp networks ??
Desparate for guidance
