Thread Status: Not open for further replies. Advertisement dfriend846 Thread could not lock file access 2013 Starter Joined: Aug 11, 2005 Messages: 199 We have an Access database on our network which about could not lock file. 3050 2-3 of us use concurrently. This is not a problem for us. One person cannot access it because of a, "Could Not Lock File" runtime error 3050 couldn't 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? Thanks. dfriend846, Sep 13, 2005 #1 Sponsor access could not lock file error 3050 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 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,

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 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 determined with a little knowledge. dfriend846, Jun 1, 2007 #5 glisando Joine

Sat, 10/02/2010 - 18:39| jack5465 This error occurs when the .ldb file is not automatically deleted when the user closes MS Access. In theory, the .ldb file should automatically get created when user connects to the database and automatically get deleted when user stops using could not lock the database. The way to fix this problem is to delete the .ldb file. The .ldb file will be in the same folder as the database itself. If the “File in Use” error is received when trying to delete the .ldb file, use the following steps to delete the file Ask the Domain Admin (System Admin) to kill all the sessions related with that .ldb file. Then ask the Domain Admin to (System Admin) delete the .ldb file. How to prevent this error? Make sure the user that need to access the database have all modify, read and execute, read and write rights for the current folder. If you need users to limit them so that they cannot write to the database, set the permissions for the database file itself, not the folder it is in. This is because the .ldb file is created in the same folder as the database and users have to have rights in order create .ldb file, write to it and delete the file.

Multi User Access Database 2010 couldn't lock file error The db is split, BE and FE. I have 3 admins who have no problem accessing the database and 2 users who can access the db but intermittently. Users can access the db with no errors when the other 3 admins are not running the file. But once the admins are running the db, the 2 users cannot access even from the FE.

Set the folder permissions of the users to full control to allow read,execute,delete everything. 2.
