I agree with Tom's recommendation, however; you have to be sure to also set exclusive on. In addition, if your project is open, you should probably close it.

If I get the symptoms you get, I usually do the following:

CLOSE ALL
CLEAR ALL
RELEASE ALL
SET EXCLU ON
OPEN DATABASE databasename
MODI DATABASE


Good luck!
