us use concurrently. This is not a problem for us. One person cannot access it because of a, "Could Not Lock File" error. The rest of access could not lock file error 3050 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 dfriend846 Thread Starter Joined: "open databases by using record-level locking" 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, 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 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 Joined: Jun 1, 2007 Messages: 15 Hi Guys... In that case I will p

Solved How do I fix Microsoft Access 'Cannot Lock File' error Posted on 2009-03-19 MS Access Server Hardware Active Directory 1 Verified Solution 6 Comments 3,711 Views Last Modified: lock file 2013-11-29 I have an existing Microsoft Access 2000 database that is split with front end/back end. It is on a network file server and is accessed via network shares. There is a current group of users who have been successfully accessing it simultaneously; some using Windows 2000 Pro/Office 2000 and some using Windows XP Pro/Office 2003. I am now adding 2 new users, 1 2000 Pro/Offc 2000 + 1 XP could not lock Pro/Offc 2003, who each get the 'cannot lock file' message if anyone of the original group is using the database, otherwise they can access the file. Further if either of the 2 new users log on first, any of the original users can use the database but only as read-only. Both original and new users all have the same NTFS permissions to the database and folders on the network. Any help to solve this will be most appreciated. 0 Question by:WoodstockIT Facebook Twitter LinkedIn Google LVL 77 Best Solution bypeter57r Consider it like this. If an existing user can create and delete a Word doc in the database folder and a new user cannot do the same, the problem is with user permissions.

Do you have some rolling back transactions at the moment? Also have you already run this command in another SSMS window that might still be open? I'm wondering (pure speculation) whether that might take a lock that blocks other attempts but it is still waiting before the database can actually be put into single_user mode. –Martin Smith Jan 12 '11 at 19:38 1 @Martin - fair enough. I must thinking of something else or losing my mind. either one is quite possible –codingbadger Jan 12 '11 at 19:53 @thank you very much everyone, i restarted SSMS and was able to kill everyone –JOE SKEET Ja
