Microsoft Access is not allowing me to compact and repair. Keeps saying its open etc

Thanks Daniel for the reply.

How to do the rollback?

Also 3 different computers have same build but its working on one and not on the other two. I have a brand new Dell with the newer I7 11390H processor. Here it is not working. On my Lenovo it's an I3 I think 7th Gen and it is working fine on that laptop. On my oldest Dell and I3 3rd gen it's not working.

From what I have seen today it seems that the I7 11390H struggles and the older i3 7th gen seems to be faster. At least it looked like that to me when I was working on the application.

To all the technical powerhouses here, please guide, and eat Microsoft's head if necessary to get them to listen. I already gave feedback on the app. Not sure what else to do.

I've tried reverting to two previous builds, and neither one resolved the problem. Exactly which build would you suggest?

It depends on your update channel. If you review https://www.devhut.net/access-lock-file-issues/ under the section entitled 'A Little Back History' you'll see the builds that initially caused the issue to first surface, so you need to go to a build prior to those.

That said, someone else report that even reverting the build doesn't resolve this issue which makes me believe it is a flag controlled by Microsoft that is causing this problem and there is nothing users can do to address it. This is speculation on my part, but the data is pointing that way.

This is all very frustrating.

Manually checked for updates just minutes ago, and it actually found something. I'm now updated to:

Microsoft® Access® for Microsoft 365 MSO (Version 2202 Build 16.0.14931.20118) 32-bit

But the issue persists.
