I have the MS access db on a shared server where all the users access it from a VB application.
The problem comes when a user is trying to open a report , he get message 'you do not have exclusive access to the databse at this time, if you proceed to make changes you may not be able to save it later'
When i looked in to the code i found out that the report is created with the user id (ex $R_K0987_2) from a template report (Ex Template_report) and the colunms are generated from the query (in mdb) selected from the code.
Is there a way we can produce the report w/o moving the database from the server?
please advise .

MS Access is intended for one user. Maybe at that time someone was still connected to the server ...I think that this could be a problem.

MS Access is not intended for one user - it is a multi-user database.

Is the database split into a frontend (held locally on the user's PC) and backend (the data, held centrally on a server)? If not, you should do this immediately. There is a database splitter wizard built in to Access which will do this for you.
