Locked Access Database - ldb files problem


Hi all,

I have an Access 2000 database file on a shared network (windows)
drive which should be accessed by several users at the same time. The
problem is that although the database is being opened as shared mode
(not exclusive), just *ONE* user can open it at a time. When the first
users opens the database, a ldb file is created at the same place as
the database file is, and another users are not able to open the
database as long the first user has the application opened. When the
first user closes the Access application and the ldb file is deleted,
other user is able to open the application. Again, just one user at a
time.

Any ideas on how to solve this problem???

Thanks in advance!!!
