Error in attaching to the personal database

Message text

If there is an error in attaching to the personal database specified in the Express Server Login, you may receive the following message: "Cannot attach to personal database because it cannot be found or it is already attached by another user."

Reasons for the error

The message "Cannot attach to personal database because it cannot be found or it is already attached by another user" indicates that you cannot attach to the personal database specified in the Express Server Login for one of the following reasons:

• An incorrect personal database name or path has been supplied. Verify that you have entered the correct name and path.

• The Personal Database may already be in use. You cannot connect to this database until the person currently attached to the database finishes their session.

• You do not have read/write access to the personal database. Check with your system administrator.

• You may have re-booted your PC and the Express Server session you were originally working in may not have correctly terminated. Ask your system administrator to terminate your previous session using the Express Server Session Manager.
