When running a request under Access 2000 the following message appears:
The number of locks available for file sharing has been exceeded. Increase the registry entry MaxLocksPerFile
Okay to modify but up to what value can we go?
And what are the drawbacks?
Additionally there are 3 MaxLocksPerFile keys... ?
Thanks for the solution provided
