I was once able to go into my database and sort by column. Now I receive an
error message stating:
The Microsoft Jet Database Engine has stopped the process because you or
another user are attempting to change the data at the same time.

How do I get this resolved? No one else is in my database. Althought it is
possible that someone was, and caused a problem.
 
Why are you trying to view/sort a table anyway? Tables are for storing the
data. They are not user interfaces. If you need to manipulate, sotre, or
view your data, use a query, report, or form.

There is probably a .ldb file hanging around due to someone improperly
exiting Access. Get everyone out of the database and make sure the .ldb file
disappears.
