The problem appears to be that the record locking file (*.ldb) is being left when the user closes the database. When the file is first put out on the server (no ldb file exists) the file opens just fine (no message). But closing the file does not delete the ldb file as it should when the last person who has the file opened closes the database. Because this ldb file is still out there on subsequent attempts, it appears to MS Access that there is a user that still has the file open - the question now is why, when opening the database through CF does the ldb file not get deleted once the database is closed.

I tried it and it seems buggy where just a clickable link to it opens fine with no message like the one you describe. This is just my instinct though so I don't know if that is the real issue or not.
