If you create an Access project and use it with MSSQL-server you can’t specify "Default open mode"(Advanced tab on options). You can’t specify it by code either. It is always "Exclusive". I want the users to use the same .adp or .ade file on the server so I don’t need to copy it to the local computers. This works fine but if more then one user are opening the file they get a warning that the file is read only because the first user has open it in exclusive mode. I thought the problem should be solved when I created an .ade file from the .adp file but the warning is still there.

Any suggestions?
 
I've always gotten that too, but ignore it because the users are only interested in changing the data which is on the SQL Server. That error only tells you they can't modify the forms or reports.
