Just a thought...

You may try having the client log in using an administrator status and test your result. We have run into a few scenarios on different networks that do not seem to respond correctly. (we have a few users running novell for example)

Operating system profiles can be corrupted if the user is logging in to winXP and win2000 at different times...


>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?
