I have a database which is on a network directory so that different people can access it. The folder itself has permissions on so that not everyone can get into. But all the users who do have permissions have exactly the same ones. I also have additional security permissions on the database (i.e. one department can't look at another department's information).
When some of the users try to open the database, they get an Error 3050, "Could not lock file." Basically, it won't create a lock file (.ldb) in the same directory as the database. Since some users have been able to get into the database and all the permissions are the same, what's happening? Is it something on the individual user's computer that's causing the problem?
Thanks!
