I'm running into a strange situation at a client's site. I'm simply trying to open a file exclusively and getting an error 3 - File is in use. Yet the file is not in use. We've done a few things to confirm this. First, we were able to rename the DBC with no problem. Second, we were able to rename the file itself with no problem. And, third, Windows did not list the file as being open. Yet when the form that uses this file is opened, we get error 3. It works fine on my local machine when running it locally and when running it off the network. I've not run into this before - it's kind of strange. Anyone seen anything like this?
