Hi,

I have a database located on a server with about three users. Two of
the users have no problem opening the database and working. However,
I have one user that when they open the database they get the message
that they don't have exclusive access to the database and changes will
not be saved. It is as if the database is trying to open the start
form in design mode but the form actually does open in normal mode.
Once all the errors are cleared, the database works fine. I have
checked all startup settings and everything looks ok, and I have
uninstalled and reinstalled Access but still the same problem. Since
the other users do not have this issue, it seems it is a local problem
to the pc.

Any thoughts?

Do you get the same problem if one of the other users logs in to the
problem machine? I'm thinking user rights might be a bit different.

Are they sharing the same file? Is it a split front and back end?

The more we know the more we can tell you.

best,

Tim Mills-Groninger

It isn't the login...I tried it with a login that doesn't have the
problem, and it still had the same errors.
They do share the same files. I do not think it is split front and
back end.
