Greetings-
I have a serious problem with an Access Database. This database is used
company wide to create specific documents. Suddenly, last week no one was
able to access the database. When you try to open it you get this error
message:
"The <path> Database needs to to be repaired or isn't a database. You or
another user may have unexpectedly quit Microsoft Office Access while a
Microsoft Access database was open. Do you want MS Office Access to attempt
to repair the database?"
When you click yes, you get:
"You attempted to open a database that is already opened exclusively by user
'Admin' on machine 'NBNW1337'. Try again when the database is available."
Now, here's the problem. User NBNW1337 is not actually in Access. And the
'user' changes from time to time. All users are out of the database, but we
keep getting this message. IT cannot get in because this 'user' has everyone
locked out.
OK, so now you click OK. Then you get:
"The database <path>.mdb can't be repaired or isn't a MS Office Access
database file."
So, my question is, does anyone know how I can remedy this situation,
somehow unlock the program so we can all have access to Access once again??
Please help!

Dominick
