How do I avoid "File Sharing Lock Count Exceeded (Error 3052)"

Hi,

I'm trying to delete a whole bunch of records and keep getting the
message "File Sharing Lock Count Exceeded (Error 3052)".

What is this error and how do I overcome it?

Thanks guys.

Advice given by Larry Linson to solve what sounds like a similar problem to
yours!
Don't try to do this from datasheet view.

Create a Delete Query in the Query Builder and execute it: Add the Table to
the Query, drag down the * into the grid, then on the menu, click Query and
choose Delete. Execute it with the ! icon on the toolbar. Don't be
impatient, as with a million rows, it will take some time.

Take a look at Q173006 on the Microsoft support site. There's a
registry tweak to get round this problem. If, by any chance, your
back-end database is on a Novell server you may also have to change a
couple of things on the server. I don't have the links to hand, but
you'll find them on the Microsoft site - I have to look them up
several times in the past :-)

Access version please?
Try searching in this ng for
MaxLocksPerFile
i fixed similar problem with
dbengine.setoption dbMaxLocksPerFile,10000 or whatever
note this is a fix for the current session only.
