Open Access97 MDE with Access2000

[Carl_R]

...not too much in the archives on this one, so any help appreciated...

We have an Access97 MDE with a split backend that is shared over a network.

Most of our users have WinNT installed and the Access application works fine. We have a user who has Win2K and Office2k and every time this person tried to launch the Access97 app, he receives the following error:

The database that you are trying to open or convert is currently in use, or you do not have permission to open it exclusively.

I have checked the Security Permissions for that user and he actually has full rights (Admin) for the Network folder.

Anyone else experienced this ?

Several of the .DLL files were updated in the transition from Ac97 to Ac2K, probably thus leading to reference problems. The DAO lib is one that changed, for which I am certain; others might well exist that I don't recall offhand.

It is possible that this won't work because of the library changes. The conversion from Ac97 to Ac2K even for an .MDB was not a "piece of cake" for our site due to the myriad reference issues that cropped up. Not insurmountable, just hellishly tedious, but it kept us busy for a while.
