This is not a problem for us. One person cannot access it because of a, "Could Not Lock File" error. The rest of us do not have this problem.
Ms Access Lock File
Can anyone tell me how to correct this? Is the problem in the person's security or configuration of Access or in the database? Thanks. dfriend846, Sep 13, 2005 #1 Sponsor dfriend846 Thread Starter Joined: Aug 11, 2005 Messages: 199 Here's an answer to the above problem: The users who had problems opening Access had read only rights for the network folder containing the database. If ldb file they were the first (only?) user then there was no problem but if they logged on as a multiple user the program could not create a lock file since they did not have write priveleges. When changed to allow write priveleges the problem went away. dfriend846, Oct 2, 2005 #2 Adeyan Joined: Jan 4, 2007 Messages: 9 Thanks, exactly what i was looking for Adeyan, Jan 4, 2007 #3 glisando Joined: Jun 1, 2007 Messages: 15 I am having the same problem in my workplace too. I just took over the admistration of the database recently. There is a user who always gets the 'could not lock file' error Is giving them 'write' privellages the only way to solve this problem? What if that particular user is not supposed to do any editing of the data, and I end up giving him 'WRITE' privellages? Could it be something to do with the registry settings of the user's notebook/PC? I managed to get some info from this site : http://support.microsoft.com/kb/305995 Could anyone confirm that the method suggested by the above mentioned link will solve the problem? Thanks. regards glisando glisando, Jun 1, 2007 #4 dfriend846 T

I have just put a Microsoft Access file onto a network drive here at work. When one of the users opens the file (the others haven't tried yet) she gets the following error pop up... "Could not lock file". I've heard this could be a permissions issue so went in and gave all of the users full-control within that folder. I then had the user with the error restart. Again, the same thing. Any ideas?

When a database is shared, and a user goes to open it. Access will lock the database so if another user connects they wont be able to conflict in their work. Her problem doesnt reside in opening it, her error resides in locking it after she opens it. So, either the permissions on the database are incorrect, or the permissions in the folder are incorrect.... Will you post a copy of the database? And I will test it. www.google.com - Pay Tribute.
