John,
Several reasons for the training this way,
The culture of the department constitutes it. It is very strange way of doing things I know. (Before I started here thing)
The lack of support for a one back end database and multiple front end solution based on security issues.
I was hoping there was a way to get the data to the VP without the linked table and this would not be an issue here.

Jim-
The lock file will be created if the VP opens his copy with the linked table and then opens the link. Why do you have your people trained this way?

John,
I did not explain it correctly. The databases have locking files in the folder but are not locked out from others getting in them. I was trying to figure out a way to have the VP see the data without having to link the table and creating the lock file in the folder so people do not think that someone is in the databases.

Two possibilities:
1) Not everyone has full access to the folder in which the database is stored.
2) Someone crashed out of the database and left a .ldb file hanging around.

John,
The problem is that we have conditioned the employees to see if there is a locked file before entering the database, to not go in it. It looks like someone is in the database but they are not. Also if we make a copy of the database for maintenance, testing or to fix something the database looks like someone is in them and actually nobody is.

Jim-
You get locked out:
a) If one user opens exclusive
b) If one user opens read-only
If both users have full access to the database with the linked table and are
opening shared, there should be no problem.

Subject: [MS_AccessPros] Linked tables question
Hello all,
We have 2 databases that we support that have a linked table between them. On
the form in the Executive VP database there is a subform with the source for the
subform has a Select statement
SELECT [LatestPSS].[movedate], [LatestPSS].[BALANCE] FROM LatestPSS; this shows
the VP the data she needs to see on a daily or even when she needs to see it.
The data is manipulated in the other database by a user who updates the
information. The purpose for this way is so the VP does not have to open the
other database just to see 2 fields values.
The issue is that whenever anyone is in either database, the database gets
locked or shows that someone is in both databases.
Is there a way of using a non linked table solution to get the data to the VP
without linking tables?
Thank you
Jim Wagner
