how to read an Access database when it's open by another person -
i'm working on website application reads data access db. works fine until opens database work on (e.g., write new record...). when happens, connection interrupted , message "database in use" appears.
i understand access has security file extension .ldb
created automatically when .mdb
open, i'm looking way able open database multiple users. way, can check data application and, @ same time, record new data.
is there way that?
the website application not maintain continuous connection database, symptoms describe caused 1 of following:
when "someone opens database work on it" open in exclusive mode, prevents other users/processes opening @ same time.
when "someone opens database work on it" not have "create file" permission on folder in
.mdb
file resides. prevents them creating.ldb
lock file , can cause other users forced read-only mode or prevent them accessing database entirely. (for more details on file/folder permissions multi-user access, see other answer here.)
