message stating that i had to open database exclusively.

Thank you.

You have posted an Access question to an Excel news group.

Are the two connected in some way?

Hi,
Though your question is posted to the wrong Newsgroup..
When you open Access 2000 using File/Open you will see the Open button with
a down arrow on it. Click and select Exclusive there. This will open the
database in an Exclusive mode.
