Can't access repaired database from remote machine

[heraldis]

We had a corrupted database yesterday, which has now been repaired using Access.

However we can no longer access the database from other machines. I get the error:
-----------
Actinic failed to open the database DSN=ActinicCatalog75.
The database may be corrupt or the version may be newer than expected.
This prevents Actinic working.

The error was:

The Microsoft Jet database engine cannot open the file '(unknown)'. It is already opened exclusively by another user, or you need permission to view its data.
Driver's SQLSetConnectAttr failed
------------

All is fine on the machine with the database on (and where it was repaired).

Thoughts please?

You need to copy the database to another location (copy not rename, so that you have two), then delete the original one (or rename this time, so you have a backup) and then rename the new copy to ActinicCatalog.mdb. It should work then.

You can also fix this using the database repair tools in my spellchecker program, more details and a free trial for this program here :

well blow me backwards with a chocolate fan. It works! Why does that work?

Thankyou!

Shame Actinic support didn't know about that one..
