MS Jet database engine stopped the process ... Error

[Pat]

I have an Access 2002 database on a diskette. When I try to open the
file I get the error "The Microsoft Jeft database engine stopped the
process because you and another user are attempting to change the same
data at the same time." This file is on a floppy disk in my A: drive.
Can anyone help me find out the issue please?

I would copy it to the desktop. Is there an LDB file in the floppy?
If so, try deleting it.

1) Using a file on a floppy is troublesome and very slow. I've found floppies to be
quite unreliable.

2) Copy it to your hard drive and see if the problem still exists.

This is also a sign of corruption.

For more information on corruption including possible causes, determining the
offending PC, retrieving your data, links, official MS KB articles and a list of
vendors who state they can fix corruption see the Microsoft Access Corruption FAQ at
