User is Unable to Attach to a Btrieve Database.

---------------------------------------------------------------------
The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Access version 1.0
---------------------------------------------------------------------

Summary:

SYMPTOMS
   When you try to attach to a Btrieve database you get an error
   message when you choose the FILE.DDF:

      Table <tablename> is exclusively locked.
   or
      Couldn't open file <filename>.

CAUSE
   Whenever Microsoft Access tries to attach to a table, it needs to
   open the target table exclusively tempoarily. If the target Btrieve
   table is open by any other users at the same time that Microsoft
   Access tries to attach to the table, one of the above error messages
   will be returned.

RESOLUTION
   The only workaround at this time is to find an available time when
   the target Btrieve table is not being used by any other users. Once
   Microsoft Access has attached to the Btrieve table, you should not
   receive the above error messages.
