open a web app while the database table is open ERROR
I am trying to go the site that a database supports while that database is open and the table is open. I have written an app where i could that before. However , this new app does not work, it generates this error
Error Executing Database Query.
[Macromedia][SequeLink JDBC Driver][ODBC Socket][Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver] The table 'projects' is already opened exclusively by another user, or it is already open through the user interface and cannot be manipulated programmatically.
The error occurred in C:\CFusionMX\wwwroot\prosv

ACCESS does not allow access via the web connection to a database file that is already open manually.
You need to use a different database to do what you are trying to do since access does not allow this.

If the database is open - even if the tables are not - you will get that error because Access doesn't allow web access to a database mdb file when it is open through windows
I've used Access with tables open [Not in Desing mode] & i never has issues with it.
Then you are lucky because Micosoft even says that it is by design that it should not allow this.
I guess it depends on the DSN, but in general if you want to do something like this I would recommend moving to a real database system

Or, for that matter, ColdFusion?
