I have back end database with several tables which resides on networks server. 2 applications on different workstations are connected to this database. Sometimes we are experiencing that application no 2 (no 2 because it's the second in the row that connects to DB) causes this error. I haven't tested it but I think I've noticed that error arises when application no 1 access the database and then application no 2 tries to access it.
Can multiuser network environment cause this error?
I don't think it's the bad link to the tables because after we shut down application no 1, the second app started up immediately.
I'm asking this because I wanted to give some nicer error message to the user if this is multiuser environment issue, but wanted to make sure first.
Thank You

Is this a db that is in advanced stages of development? I ask that because if it is then it's possible that it's some with the db. Have you tried to create a simple test db with simple forms and tables and see if it too has issues?

Also you should check that the back end DB is not set to exclusive access

Where do I check for this option?
