I have designed a small db using the wizard and have been making some changes to make it work as I desire. However, when I try to open it now, I get the error message "The Microsoft Jet database engine stopped the process because you and another user are attempting to change the same data at the same time." I have the only copy and do not have it open. What did I do wrong and is there a way to save this or am I going to have to start again?
 
First easy thing to look for: is there a file in the same directory with the
same name but with an ".ldb" extension? That's the locking file; delete it
when the main database is closed. See if that allows you to open the
database.

There was one, but I deleted it earlier with the same
thought you had. It didn't help. Thanx for your reply.
 
Are you opening a form automatically upon startup? Or running an AutoExec
macro upon startup? Something in these activities might be causing the
problem.

Otherwise, it's possible that the database is corrupted. Create a new
database and import all objects from the original database.
