Couldn't update/currently locked MDB

Hello

I am running an application created with MSAccess XP .
This application is running on a server and has many users. Sometimes the
backend database (MSAccess MDB) locks up
When a user tries to update the backend, the following error message occurs:

couldn't update/currently locked

Is there a way that I can identify who is accessing the backend ?
Is there a way to identify which user is locking the backend?

Thanks
G.Gerard

Check out http://support.microsoft.com/kb/176670/EN-US/

From the link on that page, download the Jetutils package, unzip, run the
LDBView.exe utility and open the backend database.

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

To edit them, the user double clicks the ememo field which then opens an unbound...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. 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,...
