>I've opened all Network files with Exclusive set off,Shared, and in Private datasessions. I still seem to randomly get this error. It also only happens on ONE network; one with a lot of activity, users and printer activity. The file server is only a 166 with 64 mb of ram. It never happens on two other networks htat have very little activity.

It would help to know what statement was being executed when this occurred. The most obvious causes would be attempts to delete or rename a file that another user, or even the same user, had open in any form - you can't delete or rename something that someone else has open. The other frequent cause is either an attempt to USE a file that someone either has opened exclusively, or has a low-level file open on in DENY ALL mode, or an attempt to USE EXCLUSIVE a file that someone has opened even in a read-only mode.
