I have encountered a problem that I am hoping someone can shed some
light on.
I have a multi-user A97 app. All users have a personal front-end MDE
accessing a shared back-end.
There is no specific MDW file for the app as security rules are housed
within the app itself.
On a couple of occasions, different users have launched the app only
to have the back-end opened in exclusive mode, preventing others from
being able to run the app. The absence of an LDB file precludes the
use of LDBViewer to ascertain which user has the back-end locked.
Once the user in question had been identified and exited the app,
multiple users could then launch the app with no problems.
My questions:
* how can this even happen? (i.e., a front-end causing a back-end to
be opened in exclusive mode?)
* is there any way to programatically ensure that a back-end is NOT
accessed in exclusive mode?
