Hi, I need a bit of help with this one.
I've developed a small vb-database application for an intranet environment. The database is MDB format, and the application uses a data control to access it, using DYNASET as the recordset type. This database is used for READING purposes only, no updates will be made to it. I've set the READONLY to TRUE, and the EXCLUSIVE to FALSE.
The database is located in an intranet folder, where most users have only READ access.
After installation, we noticed that many users are getting a "COULDN'T LOCK FILE" error, and the application shuts down. We also noticed that users with a read/write access to the folder a working fine.
How can this be? All of the settings indicate that this is a read-only database, so why is write access required?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. [sig][/sig]
