Locking error on export

Problem

In the export phase of synchronizing, I get an error:

SQLHY000: The database has been placed in a state by an unknown user
that prevents it from being opened or locked.

Solution

This occurs because you have modified an object (usually a toolbar) which required Access to grab an exclusive lock on the database. OnWeb presently requires shared-locking in order to correctly export your application.

To resolve this, please:

1) In Access, check Tools | Options | Advanced and ensure that the 'Default open mode' is set to 'Shared'.

2) Close and reopen your database, holding down the 'shift' key on your keyboard while opening it.

3) Synchronize.
