Receiving "File in use" error for a single-user Access 2019 application

Hi Mark,

The build you mention is not in the lists of the article. So, it's hard to say if it should have been fixed. In many cases even after installing the currently available fixes there are still problems with network paths. Microsoft is working on further fixes but it's not yet clear when they will be available and if they will fix every version of these problems.

Concerning a temporary downgrade:

Only you (or an admin) knows the circumstances of your usage, needs, security or compliance requirements. In theory you run the risk of a security hole, although Microsoft considers the exploitation unlikely. However, that's always a judgment call with security stories. You can find details about it, if you search with the KB numbers in the support article.

In the end you have to decide if you can wait and see if and when Microsoft fixes the problems or if it is more important for you that your Access application is working properly in the meantime. In case you want to downgrade I've already posted some how-to links in the discussions here, and Daniel Pineault also has them in his blog article.

Servus
Karl
