Solution 1

Without knowing the exact error message it is guess work to some extent, but the most likely reason is that the database is already open for exclusive access by another process / thread / computer. Find which, and stop it being exclusive!

Solution 3

May be your Access database in modify mode(I mean you are changing structure of any table in database in another window). So save & close the database & try again.

If not please let us know the complete details.
