ACCESS mdb on Samba

[Johannes Weberhofer]

Hi!

This error seems to be related to an Access option.

You should be able to set this behavieour somewhere in your VBA code.
Try to open your database via Access in non-exclusive mode (you may
choose this in your file-open dialog box) on both sides to verify that
it's not samba related.
