I am not very knowledgeable in Access, aside from being able to create tables
and forms, no code. I use access on a shared drive, but I am the only one
who makes changes to it, all other users input data on forms only. Sometimes
I can not open it when someone else is in it, and I get a message that says
"the database has been placed in a state by user 'some name' on machine 'some
computer ID' that prevents it from being opened or locked. I read some posts
regarding front end/back end files. It sounds like this is what I need. Can
this be done by a novice, or will it take someone with more skill? If it can
be done by a novice, where can I go to find out how to do it? Thank you.
