How Does Database Get Locked When Can't Write LDB Files
Aug 1, 2014
I have a database on a shared network drive. All users except the manager have only read access to the file/directory. However, if the manager tries to open the file while other users have access open, it only allows him to read it as read only. If they close the database, then he can open it with read-write. Does access use another mechanism other than ldb files for locking?The weird thing is that it seems to be locking correctly. If the manager tries to open the file while someone has it open, it's read-only.

Are all mde files locked so that you cannot edit or see design view for forms etc?
Are there any tools out there that can unlock an mde database?
Thanks,
Dave

Hi can anyone help. My database is running on a Citrix server. No real problems except that I am continualy being left with the database apparantly locked by another user. Am unable to delete the LDB file even when no other users are logged on. Is there a way of deleting LDB files in relation to stale Access sessions. I know that in normal circumstances these files close automatically. Problems seems to be occurring when the database is not exited properly or the connection to the server drops for some reason. I've tried loads but can't find a workaround.

I have to write a code for my database,i have folder with files "pending Review" and a table with column "tblExcelLocation". when i run my database all the files from pending review folder goes to "tblExcelLocation" on a click of button.But,if the files already exists it should not insert those files and insert the rest.For this i tried to write a code but i think i m unable to do that .
Code:
Loop through files in folder
folderspec = "O:QA FilesQC ReportingPending Review"
Set fs = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set f = fs.GetFolder(folderspec)
Set fc = f.files
[code]...

I have a database that I password protected. Somehow, in the process of applying the password, the file became corrupted and now I am getting the following error message:
"This database is in an unexpected stat; Microsoft Office Access can't open it.
This database has been converted from a prior version of Microsoft Office Access by using the DAO CompactDatabase method instead of the Convert Database command on the Tools menu (Database Utilities submenu). This has left the database in a partially converted state."
Does anyone know what this error is and how I can retrieve my data?? I have tried to import the files into a new database, convert the database into a different version and compact and repair. Nothing has worked. I have looked into recovery tools and two of them do get me into the database and let me see some of the data, however, the programs are holding my information hostage until I purchase the software which is running around $300.00. Any ideas???

What is the best way to go about doing a 2.0 version of a database? When I wrote ours I was a newbie. Not that I am an expert now or anything but things could definately use an upgrade!!!
I need to clean up the forms, etc. Do I just dump all the tables in from the old one and start over?
I also want to completely revamp a couple of things. How would I make sure that all the purchase order numbers (auto number field) still matched?
Thanks for any ideas!

I have a MS Access 97 database that seems to be locked. I wish to update it but I cannot open it as a regular file. When it is opened, there is no way to edit the database or access any of the controls that are usually present. The tool bars are even different.
Any idea?
Thanks,
WJ

OK, I have a database that works great when used on 1 computer. Basically, a friend of mine has a dj show, and he wants an electronic request system. So, I came up with this database, which works great on one computer. I am attaching the database.
So, the problem is, the database is on the dj computer, and then there is another computer on the network that will be setup for accepting requests. When I have the database running on one computer, when you try to open it on the other, it gives me a locked database error. Obviously the requests need to make it from one computer to the other. I'm pretty sure I didn't have it open exclusive. Any ideas...... I'm having a brain fart today, and I've not had much sleep.

I am completely locked out of my Access Database!
Basically, I have 3 forms which have all got the properties set to DISALLOW right clicking on them to prevent users accessing the design of the form, they all have code behind them so that they cover the entire screen and block ALL menus/shortcuts apart from those available on the form and I have set up a command button on each form which is password protected to ONLY allow Admins to access the design/backend of the form/database when they enter a valid password.
However, I was playing around with the settings of all these forms and have inadvertantly locked myself out, the last thing I remember doing was setting up a "Password" form to collect the Administrator password which had code attached to allow access to the database design. This was working fine until I tried "tweaking" it and now whenever I input the CORRECT password, I get the error message;-
"Error 2585: This action can't be carried out while processing a Form or Report event"
If I enter an INCORRECT password, I get the standard "Login Failed-Please try again" form that I have set up.
The "Password" form doesn't have an override/Cancel (I wanted to make it REALLY secure) it means that although I can use the database fine for entering/editing information/data within the database when it first opens, as soon as I want to make changes to the design and try to log in with "Admin" privellages using my custom made "Password" form, it then pops up with the password screen and goes no further.
I do have a backup of this database BEFORE I set up the "Password" security to collect the "Admin" Password but I can't remember the code I used and although I can work it out again, it will take me a LONG time to work it out again. So I was wondering if any of you might have some ides or a workaround I could try to gain back "Admin" rights to my database.
Does this makes sense? As stated I do have a backup so if all else fails I'm going to have to try to remember how I got it working in the first place BEFORE I cocked it up but if any of you could save me the trouble that would be very much appreciated!
Thank you very much
Alex

I have a 2000/2003 format database used only for reporting.
It has linked tables to an SQL Server database.
It automatically opens a form with two buttons on it (no data) and hides the database window and the regular menu, replacing it with my own toolbar.
The default open mode for the database is "Shared."
The default record locking for the database is "No Locks"
On the opening form, the record locking is set to "no locks."
Yesterday, no problem for two of us to share it.
However, when I open it on my computer (not to edit - to use. I simply open it - not in exclusive mode.), and then another person opens it, they get the message that says "the database has been placed in a state by "Admin" on machine (my machine) that is locked and will not be able to be opened." (not verbatim, but close.)
When the other person opens it first and then I try to open it, I get a message that I don't have exclusive access and will not be able to save changes. I have to hit okay about 6 times, but then it opens.
Some users at off-site locations are having problems sharing - some are not.
Any ideas?

I log into my server via remote connection from 3000 miles away. My database resides there.
If for what ever reason, I dump locally - the server does not recognize that I dumped - and thus keeps me logged in.
When I log back in, it logs me in as a second instance.
Here is the problem:
I was in access changing a form when I was dumped. (power went out). Now the server thinks I am still connected working on it. How do I shut down the service that has the DB locked - and delete the record-locking file that resides in the directory beside the database. (this record-locking file is the file that access creates whenever you start editing your database forms..etc...). I can't just delete that file - as access tells the server that it is still in use.
I am almost sure a reboot would rectify this issue - is there ANOTHER way to do this? (what is the service that is running that can be forced down?)
Thanks in advance,
Belchlord - way down South.

Where does one start to look for information on what is needed to set up an online web form that can write to an Access database? I'd like to learn how I could possibly set up an online registration form for clients to use via a web page. I don't really know where to start, but I have seen some information on asp.net stuff. What's the easiest path?

I am currently using Access 2010, and have successfully split a database, using the Access wizard.However, whenever a second or third user opens the database - with their front-end database file - they encounter the following message;The Microsoft Access Database engine cannot open or write to the file ". It is already opened exclusively by another user, or you need permission to view and write its data.
I have researched the internet and see that it has something to do with network permissions. I have worked with my IT department and this appears to be resolved!
Is there a setting I need to check in the front-end and/or back-end copies of the databases?Why is there no file name in the error message?

We have a client who has managed to muck up their Access database by means of having two users on two computers attempting to use and modify it at the same time, and the primary (actually, the only) location for the database is on Dropbox.
What seems to have happened is that Dropbox detected a conflict, with two different versions of the same file, and resolved this by creating two separate files. How long this went on before the client noticed that they were entering data into two separate files, I can't say.
Their client list is 28,000 someodd people long. What I need to know is if there's a process for merging the two files together, without creating 28,000 duplicate entries. This is being run on Access 2002.
