I am trying to re-create the existing table once it gets updated via form. However, I am getting error "The database engine could not lock table "tbl_test" because it is already used by another person or process".
Please help me find a way to get around this
Thanks

Access has been specifically designed to stop you getting around this, for your own good. Consider what would happen when the operator of the form found that it suddenly crashed due to the record source disappearing.
I suggest you take a step back and consider what you actually want, then look at finding a sensible way to implement that.

NeoPa,
Once user inputs the data via form, I want to close that form, run the make table query and open the form again but I am getting the "The database engine could not lock table "tbl_test" because it is already used by another person or process" error. Can you please suggest a way around?
Thanks
Why are you remaking a table that you just added data too? Sounds, in general, like you're trying to an easy task the hard way.
@dsatino
that table is a crosstab query off of the source table which gets updated via form. I am having a groupby/sum issue which takes place in crosstab query. Therefore, I need to re-create that table.
Please advise
Thanks
Ok then the next question is why are you making a table when you already have a query that will give you the same data without taking up memory?
Sorry for the questions, just pieces of the puzzle...
@dsatino
Because data is not in a crosstab format so I have to create that table first and then have users update the data in a newly created crosstab table via form.

Please refer to my earlier post for an answer to that question.
Luckily for you, it seems that Dsatino is leading you towards something that does make sense. I suggest you grab this opportunity with both hands. What he says makes sense.
So your oder of ops goes like this?:
1. User inputs to form
2. Form updates some table (non-crosstab)
3. Form closes
4. Make-table query makes a crosstab table based on a crosstab query
5. Form re-opens
@dsatino
I did that and that's when I am getting an error "The database engine could not lock table "tbl_test" because it is already used by another person or process".
Thanks

Using SQL against a DB2 table the 'with' key word is used to
dynamically create a temporary table with an SQL statement that is
retained for the duration of that SQL statement.
What is the equivalent to the SQL 'with' using TSQL? If there is not
one, what is the TSQL solution to creating a temporary table that is
associated with an SQL statement? Examples would be appreciated.
Thank you!!

I have a secured database that contains a Read-Only group. This group

since the Read-Only group doesn't have the permission to delete

Hello Everyone,
I have been asked to try and create a single SQL query to retrieve
product information from a database. The way that data is arranged is
that in some tables there are user defined "attributes" or

many-many (using a linking table). In each linking table there is a
combination of the "dimension", the productID, and the "fact" that is
stored against the...
