Hi Guys,
I've been trawling through this group for an answer to this but can't
find one that works. I have an Access 97 db sitting on a Novell
server that is accessed via a front end with linked tables. There are
several users that need access to this db but some get the "Couldn't
us <filenameFile already in use" error. Every user has the same
level of access rights to the server and their accounts are all
identical but some still can't access it while others have no
problem. I've checked Microsoft's knowledge base but their answer is
based around access rights which I've already checked.
Does anyone know why this happens and how it might be solved.
Many thanks, Dean...

One thing to check - when you get a user reporting this issue, check to
see if there is an equivalent locking file, ie, ldb extension, on the
server share. IOW, if your mdb is MyProject.mdb, when someone has it
open, there should be a MyProject.ldb.
Check for this. The error you are reporting sounds as if when a user
opens the mdb, the locking file is not being created.

Hi Tim,
Thanks for that but the locking file is present for the people who get
into the db without a problem, for the other people the locking file
isn't being created because the db doesn't even get as far as opening.

Did you know that the #include directive when using angle
brackets works substantially differently in VC7 than it
did in VC6?
It used to be that the reference for the additional

started from the project directory. Now it appears to
start from the directory that you're including the file
from. So if you have a directory structure like this:

This happens regardless of the Version of Access. Users accessing a database on a shared folder get the "Couldn't use <filename>; file already in use."
Everyone without exception has access to the folder. The folder is NOT read-only.
The solution I have found is to move ALL files to another folder, DELETE the original folder and RENAME the new folder with the exact name of the old folder. Problem solved. Everyone accesss the DB.

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.
