Hi all,

Does anyone know what sort of permission the JET ISAM driver needs?

One of my clients is getting the following message when they try to load up
a CSV file with my application:

The Microsoft Jet database engine cannot open the file ''. It is already
opened exclusively by another user, or you need permission to view its
data.

No apps have the file open - it's running local on his machine.

The app worked OK on another machine - but that machine had admin
privileges. Any ideas?

Thanks!

Can the user open the file in Notepad? Is the read-only flag set on the file?

Click to expand...

I sent the user a new copy of the app with additional logging ... and it
mysteriously work.

I blame it on user error :-S
