Then do not open the database exclusively

Sometimes, there is a .ldb-file remaining in the
directory where the database is. Delete it and
try again
As I recall, Access 2.0 does NOT ever delete the .ldb file. But, I did quite
a few multiuser databases in Access 2.0 and that was never a problem.
The kind of problem leads me to believe that the original poster has
multiple users attempting to open the same front-end or monolithic database.
That was as bad an idea in Access 2.0 as it is now and has been in every
intervening version. Every user should have his/her own copy of the front
end, linked to the shared tables in the back end.
However, this can also happen in cases of "mild" database corruption -- that
is, it's corrupted enough to be a problem but not enough to prevent all use.
