Trying to share database - HELP!

I'm trying to share my Access Database with a co-worker, however, they
won't be able to delete. Anyway, the database has been put on a shared
server where the co-worker can see it, but can't open it because of the
following error message:

"The Microsoft Jet database engine cannot open the
file'J:/job_orders-new.mdb'. It is already opened exclusively by
another user, or you need permission to view its data"

I've given that person permission from my computer, but I still can't
get them to view. Also, I've closed the database on my end, so it's
not open, but still no luck.

What is the correct procedure to get this done? Any help is greatly
appreciated.

Hi Barbara,
Sometimes the lock file - the ldb file access creates does not get
updated or removed. Manually deleting that will often help. If you
both need to be in the database at once, you might have better luck
splitting the database and putting a front end on yours and your
coworker's systems and a backend on the server. If memory serves, in
your menu under Tools, Database utilities, there is a splitter wizard
that I think may help.
Good luck
