    Microsoft Access database opening errors

    Here are some notes on running MS-Access on a Samba drive from Stefan Kjellberg

    Opening a database in 'exclusive' mode does NOT work. Samba ignores r/w/share modes on file open.

    Of course locking must be enabled for the particular share (smb.conf)
