Could Not Lock File Error 3050

El
Network users with read-only access are getting this error message when
another user is in the database. Any suggestions on how to fix this
problem??
Thanks!

I suspect Access is attempting to open the database (or ldb) with write
access, and of course that is failing.

What happens if you open the database from a shortcut that uses the /ro
switch to explicitly open it read-only?

Example target for the shortcut:
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\M SACCESS.EXE" "C:\MyFile. mdb"
/ro

(Another possibility is that the original use has the database open
exclusively.)

I am very new to working with Visual Studio, and I am trying to display information from a MS Access database in an asp webform. The adapter, connection, dataset, and datagrid setup have been no problem. I am even able to preview the information, and it is correct. When I build I get no errors, but when I run I am getting a server error, "Could not lock file." I am not sure if this is something I need to fix on the access side or on

I am testing an order-processing site that saves transaction information in a text file that it attaches to its merchant notification. In most cases, it works fine, but occasionally a lock on the text file won't get released. When the next transaction comes along and tries to write over the file, the server throws an IO error, saying that the file is...
