User is Unable to Attach to a Btrieve Database.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Access version 1.0
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Summary:
SYMPTOMS
When you try to attach to a Btrieve database you get an error
message when you choose the FILE.DDF:
Table <tablename> is exclusively locked.
or
Couldn't open file <filename>.
CAUSE
Whenever Microsoft Access tries to attach to a table, it needs to
open the target table exclusively tempoarily. If the target Btrieve
table is open by any other users at the same time that Microsoft
Access tries to attach to the table, one of the above error messages
will be returned.
RESOLUTION
The only workaround at this time is to find an available time when
the target Btrieve table is not being used by any other users. Once
Microsoft Access has attached to the Btrieve table, you should not
receive the above error messages.
