A little about me... I’ve build a few Access dbases but I consider myself a novice. I have never inherited someone else’s Dbase. The dbase is not password protected, but I cannot access all of the components. Some tables & some queries, yes, but not all. When I access the dbase from someone else’s computer ( logged on as that person), I have compete control.
When I try to access the dbase as myself, this is the error I get
' The Microsoft jet database engine cannot open the file "......mdb". It is opened exclusively by another user, or you need permission to view its data.
Today is Saturday, no one else is here to use the dbase, so I must need permission. Has anyone ever had this problem? Please advise. Thank you in advance.

This sounds like the file is already locked by another user (Look for the .LDB file). If not that, then your network account may not have read/write access to the file.
@cvalle
Are all PCs using the same Workgroup Information File (*.mdw)?
Since we're obviously talking about a database with multiple users, the first thing I wondered was whether or not this is split into front end and back end, with the back end (with data) on the shared network drive and a copy of the front end on each user's PC? Trying to access a single, non-split database, located on a network, from multiple machines, can lead to all kinds of hinky behavior, including things you've mentioned here.
