ACC2000: Network Users Can Open Their Own System.mdw Exclusively (209787)
The information in this article applies to:
This article was previously published under Q209787 Advanced: Requires expert coding, interoperability, and multiuser skills.
SUMMARY
Two users on the same network can open the same System.mdw file using the Open Exclusive option in the Open dialog box. However, Microsoft Access ignores the exclusive lock on a System.mdw file in a multiuser installation.
MORE INFORMATION
Microsoft Access opens the system database nonexclusively on the network.
Subsequent requests to open the database ignore the read-only and
exclusive flags.
Because the System.mdw file is opened whenever a user logs on to the
database, opening the System.mdw file exclusively locks out all other users on the network.
