I have a db (front end) linked to a back end. Both are Access version 2003. I converted the be to 2007 no problem. I opened the fe in exclusive mode but I get this error msg: "Could not use 'fe.mdb'; file already in use"

What am I doing wrong. If I just open it in non-exclusive mode and try to save it, I also get an error ("You attempted to open a database that is already opened by user ****. Try again when the database is available")

Thanks in advance
 
A database in the new Access 2007 file format (.accdb) cannot be opened or linked to with earlier
versions

Convert the BE
