SYMPTOMS

attempt fails, and you receive the following message:
Table <tablename> is exclusively locked

view.
RESOLUTION
To work around this behavior, do one of the following:
- Close the open table.

- Change the open table to Datasheet view.
-or-
- Open the form before opening the table (this opens the table in
Design view for read-only access).
