Hi

I am working on a code for my database through a form and I starting receiving a run time error as follows:

Run-time error 3734. The database has been placed in a state by user "Admin" on machine "HMeyers" that prevents it from being opened or locked.

Does anybody know what this means and how I can fix it?

Thanks in advance!!
 
The message is telling that there is a pc called HMeyers and someone working on that machine already has your database file open exclusively.
If it's your machine then you might have a spurious lock file left after you last closed it. Make sure noone has the file open and then go into the folder containing the file. Look for a file with the same name as your mdb file with an extension .ldb. If there is one, delete it.
Now open your mdb file again.
