Runtime Error 3051

[Samra]

Hello, everybody.

Under Windows XP, I can not open the database of a system created in VB, unless the screen of the administrator. Other users receive the following message when trying to access the tables of the application: <Run-time error'3051 '- The Microsoft Jet database engine can not open the file' file name '. It is already open exclusively by another user, or you need permission to view it's data ...

As the program is not open in exclusive mode by another user, then left to allow other users can view / change the data in the same computer.

What the instruction necessary to allow access by other Windows users?

Hello,

This error is easy to solve, in XP Professional and Windows Vista. It is the following, which you spoke, the User Administrator runs cool, does not run when another User, then the permissions of the folder where the database is not give chance to change the files.

You should go in this folder in the Sharing and Security option, and put the folder with full control for everyone.

Hi,

Check the following things :

• Check whether this file is on a network or someone must have open it, if you have the database opened, then VB won't be able to open it.
  
• Check the Permissions/Attributes on the file. A file marked Read Only will generate this error.
  
• Right click on file - go to properties - Disable the Read Only by clicking Apply to remove the Read Only Attribute.
