Question : Problem: vb.net app running on citrix server can't open an access database

When my vb.net program running on a citrix server tries to open an access database I get the error:
The MS Jet DB engine cannot open the file "blah....". It is already opened exclusively by another user or you need permission to view it's data.

I have the DB in the same folder as the app. When I log onto the citrix server I can run the app fine, but get the above error when running the program on a terminal.

Any ideas?
thankks,

Answer : Problem: vb.net app running on citrix server can't open an access database

>> user has read-only permissions to the DB

That is most likely the problem. Anything accessing an Access DB needs to have permissions to create an ldb file in the same folder that the DB resides on. Change the user's (groups') permission on the folder to have read/write/create and delete and see how it goes.
