Locked out of Data Manager...

[HybridAWD]

I keep getting a message when trying to open Data Manager that states:

"The RebisView table is locked by user %2"
The dialog box that it is in is called Open View.

This message is shown after Data Manager loads, and also when I try and view anything in the trees.

No sure how it got locked, nor am I sure of who %2 is that uses Data Manager since I am the only one who is supposed to be using it.


Help....?

goto your projdata folder. Open projdata.adp (MSDE) and find the rebislock table, clear the value and your good.

MY BAD!! what a moron, same for me dude. I meant to go check when I posted and wound up getting sidetracked. Good one, sorry for the lack of accuracy... :oops:

Check the REBISVIEW table in Schema.mdb, the current_user field can also hold a user name and lock all others out of a view.

also, if you ctrl+alt+del check your processes. You will probably find an instance of MSACCESS still running. Kill the process and that will free up data manager ;)
