ERROR: The database has been placed in a state by user 'Admin' on machine 'server' that prevents it from being opened or locked

Asked by SETP in Microsoft Visual Basic.Net, Microsoft Access Database

Tags:

I have a VB 2005 WinForm application that connects to an Access database. It is running on about 7 computers ("workstatios"), and the Access database resides on an 8th computer ("Server"). The 7 workstations run my VB app and the VB app connects to the Access database on the Server via a standard Workgroup LAN. What I did was simply create a Network Drive on each workstations, pointing to the folder on the server on where the Access database resides. My problem is that from time to time, my clients are getting the following error message on the VB app:

The database has been placed in a state by user 'Admin' on machine 'server' that prevents it from being opened or locked.

Any ideas why this is happening? The database isn't opened in Access at all - it is just being used by my VB app on the 7 workstations. The database is in Access 2000 format. As a last resort, I can maybe switch to SQL Server Express if this might fix the problem?Start Free Trial
