SYMPTOMS
When you try to open a Microsoft Access project (.adp)
file or a Microsoft Access project extension (.ade) file in a multiuser
environment, you may receive the following error message:
The Microsoft OfficeAccess project ProjectName will be opened read-only because one of the following occurred:
The file is locked for editing by another user, or the
file (or the folder in which it is located) is marked as read-only, or you
specified that you wanted to open this file read-only.
CAUSE
The file may be locked for editing by another user, or the
file or the folder where it is located may be marked as read-only.
This behavior is by design. A Microsoft Access project is strictly a client
application and has no multiuser capability.
WORKAROUND
To work around this issue, deploy a copy of the .adp file or
the .ade file on each computer.

Access project solutions, visit the following Microsoft Developer Network (MSDN) Web sites:
