Error 3045 on an MDE file - HELP

Hi

I hope you can help me with this it is driving me nuts.

I've created a database which I needed to give multiple people access
to but didn't want them messing so I created an MDE file. I ensured
that the MDB file was set to shared, not compacting and set to run
users not owners permissions before I converted.

However, if one of the users goes into the database, it does not create
and LDB file and if anyone else tries to get it, the error message:

Could not use <name>; file already in use. (Error 3045)

appears. Some of the tables in the MDE files were linking to and MDB
file, however, I have removed the links and it is still happening.

All of the help sites and articles refer to what to do if you get this
message when using a b/e - f/e MDB but I can't find anything about
getting this error with an MDE. Its the fact that the LDB file is not
being created that is really confusing.

Please help!!!!!

Willow
