Hi,
This browser is no longer supported.
Upgrade to Microsoft Edge to take advantage of the latest features, security updates, and technical support.
Microsoft Access is not allowing me to compact and repair the database. It keeps saying file is open. I made new database and imported files even then same issue and it says it is opening in sharing mode. I haven't shared with anybody. How to shut off this sharing mode. Mine is a single computer for home and is not part of any network. Please guide. Thank you. Ripal

Locked Question. This question was migrated from the Microsoft Support Community. You can vote on whether it's helpful, but you can't add comments or replies or follow the question.
Thanks Karl, I suppose it is this, but I updated my Office 365 today and still the error occurs. Not only does it say the file is open and not allow me to compact and repair, but now I get another message saying it will open my file in only share mode as it is already open elsewhere. I cant understand how to solve this. Mine is a standalone computer with no other networked computer or sharing of any kind whatsoever. Even after going to client in account and ensuring that the file is not marked as shared it still does the same thing. And I know it is an error from the applications end as even new database files that I create now just for checking have the same problems. I hope somebody from Microsoft is also reading this. I even uninstalled and reinstalled Office 365 yesterday.

What version do you now have? This is the second report I've seen this morning that the problem remains despite installing the update which is supposed to include the fix.
Thanks. It looks to me like both problem reports are for 64 bit Access. I don't know if that is relevant, but it's worth including in the discussion.
