Question Open Exclusive

[mouse88]

I am trying to open my database for exclusive use but i get the following message:

You can't open "" for exclusive use because you do not have permissions to open exclusively

Any ideas why this is happening?

The only security i have is password prtection

There aree two ways Access supports password.
You can set the database password and you can set the Admin password.
Setting the Admin password activates Access built-in security. When logged in, permissions for each user/usergroup are in effect. It depends what permissions are set for you. Perhaps you don't have the appropriate permissions to open the database exclusively? Apparently not.

Login as a different user or set the appropriate permissions for your login/group.
