Hi Steven,

I'm sure you've got this covered. I would also check and be sure that
everyone has all rights (read, write, delete, modify) on the folder where
the database is. And noone is actually opening the database exclusively. You
can also sort of "watch" the .ldb file and observe its behavior and make
sure it behaves as expected.

For example, if noone is logged on to the database, there should never be an
.ldb file. The first user gets on, an .ldb file has to be created. If one
user gets on and no .ldb file is created, then that user has the database
open exclusively.

HTH,
Immanuel Sibero
