EAP file open error
« on: January 21, 2003, 10:09:31 am »
Dear all,

An urgent problem to ask all.

Who ever happened following problem when opeing the .EAP file:
" The microsoft Jet database engin can't open the file 'D:\..\.eap'. It is already opened exclusively by another user, or you need permission to view its data"

Someone can tell me how to deal with the problem. Actually, No other user is opening the file.

Thanks,

Robert

I believe you will get this error if the file is read only, which sometimes happens if you have received it as an email attachment (I'm not sure why).

If this is your problem, look at the file properties, uncheck "Read only", and it will be usable.

Hi Frank,

Yes, You are right. The reason of the error is read-only file.

Thanks a lot,

Robert
