My users see the 'you don't have exclusive access to the database at
this time' message each time they open the database, and they have to
click 23 times (I'm not exaggerating) to get it to go away.

I have tried defaulting the db to "shared." I switched to using the
standard user security wizard (which drives me nuts) and denied all
users design privileges. The message still persists.

I am at the end of my rope. Are there any other settings that I can
try changing? This is a source of endless frustration, and I'm really
hoping it's all due to something insanely simple.

Endless gratitude and bountiful thanks to any who can help.

It's the Adobe toolbar.  Open the Add/Remove Programs dialog from Control
Panel.  Click on Adobe 7.0 Standard/Professional, and click "Change/Remove".
Chose "Modify" from the wizard and when it gets to the optional plug in page,
chose the "Create Adobe PDF" item, then "Adobe PDFMaker" item, and then click
the "Access" item and choose "This feature will not be available".

I've been trying all sorts of ways to figure that out for about a year
and a half.

Appreciatively, happily and contentedly,
