[EthanHunt007]

At work i have a newtwork of computers each with a frontend of my database on it and 1 computer with the backend on it, once there's about 8-10 computers using it, it wont let anymore in it saying something like unable to open, exculsively opened etc. How to i get round this?

If this is a recent issue, you might try to compact & repair the backend.
