Cannot find database-multiple users!

I recently installed an Access application which links to the customers main 'data' back-end database only. However when more than one user logs in the second user gets the message 'Cannot find *.mdb'(Not the exact message).

The database is set up as 'shared' with 'no record locks'.
Individually each user can do data entry.

We then created a 'simple' database, with only one table and one field in the table. We get the exact same error message, so it has nothing to do with the original database. (The original database has a front-end and back-end).

Any suggestions would be appreciated.


 
Hi,

What network software are you using? It isn't 'Novell' by any chance - is it?

A matter of fact it is Novell. Also they started to run a Citrix server. But that is not in the equation yet.

I am not the network administrator, is there something I need to relay to him?
