No exclusive access?

I have an access database.  I am the solo user.  I had it on my laptop and I saved it to a thumbdrive and loaded to my desktop.  When I try to enter this db on my desktop I get the following:

 

"You do not have exclusive access to the database at this time.  If you proceed to make changes you may not be able to save them later".

 

since it is just me I would like to know who this other user is?  Makes no sense, but then it is Access.

  • Right-click Windows taskbar, and select Task Manager. Select Details tab, sort by Name, and scroll down to msaccess.exe. I bet you there is a hidden instance running. Kill it, and try again.
