Could Not Lock File Access 2007 Error
dfriend846 Thread Starter Joined: Aug 11, 2005 Messages: 199 We have an Access database on our ms access could not lock file network which about 2-3 of us use concurrently. This is not a problem for us. One person cannot access it because of a, "Could
Access 2010 Could Not Lock File
Not Lock File" error. The rest of us do not have this problem. Can anyone tell me how to correct this? Is the problem in the person's security or configuration of Access or in the database?

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 Thread Starter Joined: Aug 11, 2005 Messages: 199 Hello Glisando, I'm sorry but I cannot confirm that the other method will work. In my 2005 note I referred to the Write priveleges of the folder on the network. There are ways to prevent people with Write priveleges from altering data. In my case the users access the data via forms and those who should not change the data use forms where the fields cannot be edited. None of this will stop a determ
