file in use, could not use

Hi. I have two databases that are both linked to the same backend table. I
can't use them both at the same time, yet other users can have both
functioning simultaneously on their machines. Opening them is not the problem.
..but the error message appears when I run any queries linked to the table.
It works in one database, but not the other. All users are running XP sp2
with Access 2003.

The error message is the same regardless if anyone is using the backend or
not. I believe it is machine specific...MY machine.

I haven't a clue. Any ideas?

Check your shortcuts that start your front-end. Make sure noone is using

That has been confirmed. Shortcut or direct access results in the same. The
only thing I have learned is that the other machines were part of an XP clone.
My machine was not. I don't know if that has anything to do with it.
