Major lock out problem when opening file.

[sdimaggio]

I have major problems.

I have a split database. The data is in "CompanyData.mdb" The application files are in "Applications.mdb" with the data linked into it. The data base is secured.

When I go to open the "Applications.mdb", I get the following error.

************************************************************

MSAccess.exe has generated errors and will be closed by windows. You will need to restart the program.

An error log is being created.

************************************************************

The error log does not create. However, a file is created named: Secured and the type of file is an Access.LockFile.9

I never heard of such a thing.

How do I get access to open the "Applications.mdb"

I can open the Access database "CompanyData.mdb"

Man, do I need help. There is a lot of important applications in there. I did not make a backup.

Thanks.

Try first linking the data with a new test front end. Write on the blackboard 200 times, "I will back up my work"

what do you mean by a new test front end?
