couldn't update/currently locked

Hello

I am running an application created with MSAccess XP on a Novell server.
Every few days the backend database locks up; when a user tries to
update the backend, the following error message occurs:

couldn't update/currently locked

The backend can stay locked for as long as one hour sometimes.

These problems seem to have started when the Novell server was upgraded from
Novell Netware 4 to Novell Netware 6

Anyone have any idea what the problem could be ?
Thanks

Thanks for letting us know that Netware still exists :-)
Have you seen the Netware related knowledgebase articles on
microsoft.com, such as this one:
http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;EN-US;815281

Otherwise: entry level Windows servers now cost around $1000. Perhaps
the simplest way to take care of the issue.

I am having my first experience using BLOB as a row in a table. I am using it to insert graphics for labels we print. I have no problem inserting into and select from the table. The graphic is being stored correctly. Whenever I attempt to delete a row from my application I get the following error. SQL0911N The current transaction has been rolled back because of a deadlock or timeout. Reason code "68". SQLSTATE=40001

re: Access 2000 & 2003. After editing code in multiple modules, sometimes when I save it displays Couldn't Update; currently Locked ... All my forms are missing. Usually when I exit and return they are displayed again, however the code has not been saved. Now, however, they are permanently gone. Tried compacting the database but didn't help. It's half the size; I'm assuming the forms are gone permanently. cg

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
