We have an Access database on our network which about 2-3 of us use concurrently. This is not a problem for us. One person cannot access it because of a, "Could Not Lock File" error. The rest of us do not have this problem. Can anyone tell me how to correct this? Is the problem in the person's security or configuration of Access or in the database?

Thanks.

Thanks, exactly what i was looking for

Here's an answer to the above problem: The users who had problems opening Access had read only rights for the network folder containing the database. If they were the first (only?) user then there was no problem but if they logged on as a multiple user the program could not create a lock file since they did not have write priveleges. When changed to allow write priveleges the problem went away.
