I second that on Razzak, I have this happen once and a while, and even though I don't see any open files to an RX file, if there is an compiled application running and open, I have to disconnect them all as well. I have also seen it where if the DB was unexpectedly left in a multi off situation and I have an active OBDC connection, I have to stop that too to regain access in Multi on mode. Of course a restart ALWAYS fixes this problem too.

How then >to correct that problem if my DB thinks it is in a multi off mode? In a situation like yours, you MUST terminate all database connections used by your "compiled" application, if any. While logged in remotely on your server, use the task manager to view all compiled application.exe(s) and see if they are still running. Your compiled applications, if not terminated, are still CONNected to the database in question. Hope that provides you with some blue's clues ... Razzak
