I have a split 2003 app. When the BE is in use by one or more of the users'
FE, I can't manually open the BE.mdb. When I doubleclick, nothing happens.
But I can open the FE though and it works fine. In a similar Citrix
environment I can open the BE manually while it is in use by others.
Any idea why it's not working?
Thanks, Lars

The copy of Access on your workstation is set to open exclusive. Run Access
and select more files, then uncheck exclusive before selecting the BE.

Thanks. When I first open Access and from there I open the BE, it works!
Access is not installed on my workstation but also in the Citrix
environment. I assume I can't change the default setting so that I can open
the BE file directly. Btw: I'm not sure what you meant by selecting more
files.

When you open Access, it starts with a list of previously open MDB, select
more files to show the open dialog box.

If Access is set to open exclusive and open a FE, only the FE is opened
exclusive not the BE. So with the FE opened by someone else, you cannot open
the BE exclusive.
