record locking

I have a front-end/back-end database that I would like to put the front-end
on about 15 users machines. Currently the front-end is loaded on 4 machines
with the back-end on the server. The first three people can open and the db
and add records with no problems. When I added the 4th person, she keeps
getting a "file is in use" message. It's not saying what file. I have went
into both the front-end and back-end to unselect "edited record locking" and
made sure both db are set to "shared". I don't see any record locking
options at the table level. Also, when any of the user open front-end and go
to a specific form it throws a copy of the db out there .ldb. I have made
sure all the users have gotten a new copy of the front-end on their desktop.
I have made sure their all running the same runtime version with current
updates. I'm not understanding why it works for 3 users and 4th user is
having problems. Any help would be appreciated.

I don't know about your other problem but this behaviour is normal so you
can eliminate it from your enquiries. The ldb file is for record locking
purposes.
