Non-exclusive access
Hi,
You could try if this helps:
File - Options - Client Settings - Advanced - Default open mode
Change the option from Exclusive to Shared.Servus

When you say this mdb will open only in exclusive mode, I assume you mean that when one person has opened it to work, subsequent users can not open it?
George_Hepworth There are no network users. The database was split a long time ago when the application was created for a client with multiple users. I just left it split as I could never figure out how to reintegrate the two.
The issue manifests itself with the Word Merge option which reports the exclusive mode:
"The Mail Merge Wizard cannot continue because the database is in exclusive mode."
