back-end being opened in exclusive mode... how?

I have encountered a problem that I am hoping someone can shed some
light on.

I have a multi-user A97 app. All users have a personal front-end MDE
accessing a shared back-end.

There is no specific MDW file for the app as security rules are housed
within the app itself.

On a couple of occasions, different users have launched the app only
to have the back-end opened in exclusive mode, preventing others from
being able to run the app. The absence of an LDB file precludes the
use of LDBViewer to ascertain which user has the back-end locked.

Once the user in question had been identified and exited the app,
multiple users could then launch the app with no problems.

My questions:
* how can this even happen? (i.e., a front-end causing a back-end to
be opened in exclusive mode?)
* is there any way to programatically ensure that a back-end is NOT
accessed in exclusive mode?

When you re-link, one of the options is 'exclusive'. If you
use the wizard, make sure the checkbox is cleared. If you have
DAO code to relink, use 0 (zero) as the relink option instead
of dao.dbAttachExc lusive

To prevent exclusive access, open the BE database, goto security,
SCROLL UP from tables TO DATABASE, and remove the exclusive
access permission from the 'admin' user.

Hello, I realize that this may not be the best place to ask this question, through the application is asp.net. I also realize that questions about disabling the back button are generally met with derision, so let me explain: (1) The site is actually a web-based application, not a "web site" per say, and is not accessable by the public. It is an application used internally by the company I work for, though it accessed by employees

I have two dropdown lists. Both have autopostback set to true. In both dropdowns, when you select an item from the list, it redirects to the Value property of the dropdown. Nothing fancy. Let's say you select 1 of the items, and are properly redirected. You press the back button. I have three servers providing two different functionalities: 1. After pressing the back button, the item you selected in the dropdown is still selected.

I can't believe this is such an impossibility... I have an asp.net page. It accepts data through on form fields and includes a submit button. The page loads up and you fill out some stuff. The submit button posts the page back to the server. The button code detects an entry error and sends the page back to the user. This all works. However, if the user presses the Back button at this point, we go back and all the form values are...
