unusual error, cant edit forms

[Ollie71]

Not sure if this is the right place to put this one but hopefully someone can help me.

For some reason (something ive done, but no clue what) when I try to add a button to a form I get the following popup

"The database has been placed in a state by user 'blah' on machine 'blah blah' that prevents it from being opened or locked"

there is only an okonly button. When pressed I get back to form with button, but when I try to change the button, for example the picture of the button, the picture editor comes up but with no picture icons in it.

anyone tell me what this error is referring to and better still how i can unlock it so I can place and edit click buttons and whatever else is probably not working ??

Have you been to talk to user "blah" to see what's happening on machine "blah blah"? There's obviously some sort of conflict.

User is me, happens on my machine. It seems like the database is stuck on open. Closing and re-opening it has no effect.

Might try and recopy the front end from a backup and see if the trouble is there, maybe that will fix it.
