I have a database that is located on a shared drive. I
have set the default open mode to Shared but is there any
way that I (Admin) can open the database in exclusive mode
so that I can be the only one working with it making
certain changes.
 
Open Access and choose 'Open an existing file'
option, 'Ok'. A window will pop up. In the bottom right-
hand corner there are 2 combo boxes....one of them
normally says 'Open'. Click that combo box and
select 'Open Exclusive'.
