I'm writing a small module to query an access2k db.

I have the lines...
Dim dbs As Database
Set dbs = OpenDatabase("C:\My Docs\PST Stuff\PSTFileSizes.mdb", dbDriverNoPrompt, False)

and soon as I hit that line it says the database is opened exclusively by the admin.

I'm the only one with access to this DB, and I made sure that in the options that it should open a DB in Shared mode!!

When I open the database through "File... Open" I didn't choose open exclusively, I chose to open normal...

And of course it the database is open I have to be IN the database to write the module!!
(don't want to have a dummy DB just to write a module that should NOT be required lol)
