A 'File could not be locked' error usually applies when opening an Access database which the system thinks is already open. Access creates a lock file xxxx.ldb when it opens a file and removes it when it closes. The main Legacy database, xxxx.fdb, is actually an Access database and opening that will create the xxxx.ldb file. If it is still present after the program is closed it will stop the file being 'reopened'. Sometimes clears after a reboot or might to be deleted manually after a reboot. May also apply to the xxxxx~hdb.hdb and some of the various zzzz.dbm files that Legacy uses.

Subject: [LegacyUG] Legacy update still not working

Hallo all,

I downloaded the update via my existing program (German). Download was
ok, the new version is existing on my laptop now. But when I try to open
the program I get following message:

Error Opening Message File  - Datei konnte nicht gesperrt werden

I never wanted to "sperren" (means lock) the data.

I tried the download again - without a firewall, nothing changed.

I don't know where to look for this message. Can anybody help?

Eva
