We have numerious databases we use and have found that there are some computers that when they open a database up and without accessing anything in it will lock out everone else but if other users open the data base up they dont lock eveyone else out.
We run a variety of operating systems on our comps but there is no consistancy when you look at the comps concerned.
The version database is 2000
If a user that dose not lock the database up opens it first then the user that locks it up other users can then also open it up.
I would apprecite any help with this Thanks in advance.
David.
