Hi.
I have been unable lately to update, or now even copy, microsoft database files from my desktop computer to the briefcase on my laptop computer. I started getting this error around the first of the week:
Briefcase can't open the database "\\*\*.mdb"
The Microsoft Jet database engine cannot open the file "\\*\*.mdb." It is already opened exclusively by another user, or you need permission to view its data.
I've done everything that I could think of. I've set the directory as shared. I've deleted the directory in my briefcase and copied it again from the desktop. I think it is a setting that has gone screwey in Access. I get this message for database files that I haven't even opened in years. I don't know what is going on.
Anybody know what the fix is?
thanks,
