I recently purchased a server running microsoft server
2003. I placed an access database on the server. I
previously had this database on a shared drive and all
users had no problems accessing it. I do not have the
access security setup.

The problem is...once a user logs on to the network to
access the access 2000 database, no other user can
access. When another user logs on and tries to open the
database the "could not lock file" error appears.

Help!
 
Check the windows permissions on the folder. All users need to have modify
permission on the folder, otherwise the first person in will open it
exclusively.
