Splitting Database Windows 2000 Server

[neffs]

I have a data base in a shared directory on a Windows 2000 Server. I created the database on my home computer and copied it to the Server. There are two workstations accessing the program and a person using the server as a workstation also accessing the database. I am about to add another remote user using Terminal Server. I want to split the database. When I try to do this, I get an error the Microsoft Jet DB Eng stopped the process because you and another user are attempting to change the same data at the same time. I have copied the database to another computer and directory and tried to split it thinking I could then copy it back. Still get the same error. All workstations are Windows 98 SE. Would appreciate some help.

Thanks,
Sam Neff

Found my own answer

If anyone is interested, I found the reason I could not split the database was because there was a corrupt record in one of my data files. The Access 97 repair utility did not repair the error. I had to delete the record and re-enter it. I found it by doing a search for #ERROR in the fields of my data file. I replaced the record and the database which was fairly large split in a matter of a few minutes.
