Tim, Go to the directory your data file is located in. There should be a file with the same name as the data file but with a".LCK" file extension. If there is if you delete it you should be able to open the main daya file. The other possibility is that your username does not have the permissions necessary to open the file in that location, particularly if you have it in a location which can be opened by multiple user's. If another user has previously opened the file you may have to login as that user to delete thelogfile (or as an administrator). The ".LCK" file is to prevent the data file being opened simulataneously by more than a single user.
