The error is "Windows can't open this file: "databasename.ldb", then gives you the options of searching or browsing for the program that will handle the file type.
The database will open as first user from any computer, and the same message occurs not matter which computer attempts to open it as a second user. This only occurs with one MDB file, there are several others that work fine except with the occasional performance hit and "File in use" error. This MDB was is actually a modified version of one of the others but it was edited on a different computer and has many changes.
I've tried all the fixes and work-arounds I could find, including Splitting. The settings are the same as the original, working files - shared mode, record level locking, etc. There is no password, or special user groups set up. The only thing I can think of is something to do with network permissions, but then if that were the case it would seem the first user would have problems, and it would affect all databases, not just this one.
Has anyone seen or heard of this particular error message displaying related to concurrent users and in use files? I know that using a single MDB file on a network driver is not best practice, but a second user should at least be able to open the file.
Any ideas and help appreciated!
