Bug: locked by another user? https://bytes.com/topic/access/answers/205691-bug-locked-another-user P: n/a Captain Nemo Hi I seem to remember that in Access 2000 you can sometimes get a bogus error message telling you that a certain table is 'locked by another user', when there is no way that could be true. Unfortunately, I can't remember what the workaround (if any) might be. Can anyone help? Thanks Nov 13 '05 #1 Post Reply Share this Question 2 ms access Replies P: n/a Allen Browne First thing to check is that there is no process that could be generating the genuine error, e.g. two forms opened into a table that has a memo field (even if both are not dirty), a recordset that was not properly closed in code, an open form that has a record dirty at the time when you open a recordset or execute could not update an action query, of any of these kinds of thing that are running in a 2nd instance of the database on your computer or the same database opened on another user's computer. If there are no genuine multi-user issues, and you are using optimistic locking (recommended, i.e. "No Locks" under Tools | Options | Advanced | Default Record Locking), then the message may be caused by a corruption. To solve it, try this sequence: 1. Make sure the Name AutoCorrect boxes are unchecked under: Tools | Options | General Explanation of why: http://members.iinet.net.au/~allenbrowne/bug-03.html 2. Compact the database: Tools | Database Utilities | Compact 3. Close Access. Make a backup copy without overwriting any existing backups. 4. Decompile a copy of the database by entering something like this at the command prompt while Access is not running. It is all one line, and include the quotes: "c:\Program Files\Microsoft office\office\msaccess.exe" /decompile "c:\MyPath\MyDatabase.mdb" 5. Open the database, and compact again. That should get you back into business. -- Allen Browne - Microsoft MVP. Perth, Western Australia.
