Problem opening database

[bill1856]

I have an Access 2000 program that I can not open. Each time I try to open it, I get: "Could not save; curently locked by another user." The program is on one computer and is not shared. Any thoughts?

Backup all your files related to the database (mdb, possible ldb).


If you have a .LDB file (databasefilename.ldb), delete it and try opening the database.

If that does not work, then you should download a copy of Jetcomp.exe. It is a MS program that sometimes can repair database files that Access can not. It my be available on the MS download site or see MS KB # 295334.

I know this is simple but have you tried opening the db while holding dow a <SHIFT> key?

I like RuralGuy's thought but I have another one.

You might also ensure that your have change permissions on both file and the directory it is in.
