The Microsoft Jet database engine stopped the process because you and another user are attempting to change the same data at the same time.

ERROR: The Microsoft Jet database engine stopped the process because you and another user are attempting to change the same data at the same time.

I have a service tracking DB which is divided into 2 sections customer data which is pulled from linked SQL tables and is not editable and repair data which the user enters. I am getting the above error when more than one user is entering data into the Repair Information section which consists of 2 sub forms, I have changed the Record Locks property to Edited Record on all forms but still get the error, and I have also repaired and compacted the DB. The error does not appear if only one user is entering data. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I have included a screen shot of the form.

OK,
I changed the Record Locks property back to No Locks, split the database and gave each user their own copy, still I get the error whenever user 1 attempts to enter data even if user 2 only has the DB open and not entering data

Thanks for all your help,  but the problem stemmed from one user using the edit parts table form as a look-up. That table is used to populated the parts used subform, so when he opened the form and tried to add the part it errored.
ErezMor suggestion to split the database was a good one even though it did not fix the problem so I am awarding him the lions share of the point and splitting the rest among everyone else as they were good suggestions
cheers mate!
