You will get this message if you are trying to update an object in a database that is also opened by someone else.

Do not change objects in a shared database. In some cases, changes are silently discarded. At least in this case you are being warned that your change will not be saved.

Any changes made to a shared database should be made off line and the changed .mdb should replace the shared .mdb at a time when all users are logged out of the shared .mdb.
