Hi Eric ---

I take it you've tried OPEN DATABASE {name} EXCLUSIVE? OK, if you have then the next step might be to VALIDATE DATABASE. Failing that, look to see what your rights are (read/write, read only, et al) to the database files are.

>I have a dbc that won't let me edit referential integrity because it wants me to cleanup the database. But, when I drop down the menu to do that the clean up database pad is disabled. Tried closing everything and restart to no avail. I also get database is not opened exclusively messages in version5. TIA
