I have recently downloaded a medical program, the database of which will not
work as it shows tha the data base is locked and being used by another user.
As
I am the only user (set up as administrator) on my system and I cannot
understand why?
I have looked in the MS knowledge base and they say that I should go to
'tools' then 'options' to change the detail of the sharinging of the data
base but the 'options' is greyed out and I cannot make any adjustment.
I have found a locked data base icon in another program (Roxio) but I cannot
delete it.
Any ideas would be appreciaited.
 
Dejotay,

Open MS Access
FILE MENU | OPEN
Find the database & 'open exclusive'

Also, on the TOOLS menu you have c'compact & repair database'
