Big security problem in Access DB

[thepope77]

Hi everyone:

I have a major problem. I am trying to open one of my networked databases and am getting an error that says something to the effect of,"....database needs repair, may have been shut down unexpectedly...." When I click "yes" to begin repair, I get a message telling me that this cannot be done because the database is opened exclusively by my machine. I can't get to the database to change any security settings and it gives me the same message no matter whose machine I use to access the db. It is very crucial that I get into this database. Could someone please help me out? Thanks a million!

I figured out what the problem was. Thanks for looking though. Someone had the database open and then just closed the database window, but not Access, then opened the database again on top of that.

Thanks.

Thanks for the response, assets. I was scared for a little while.
