Im having a Access 2003 database on one of XP PRO PC.
I have shared the folder on those PC in which is this mdb and give
read-only share rights to 5 users. Those users can open a database in
read-only mode ONLY when a user on which PC is a database keeps this
database closed. Othervise, read-only users cannot open database -
they are getting error:

"Could not lock file"

PLS HELP !!!!!

PS. In Access on PC where mdb is stored, i have checked Tools-Options,
and there is "shared mode" checked with no lock.

All users need modify permissions on the folder in order to allow for
multiuse's.
