If so, it is best to keep to one discussion as it avoids confusion and duplication of content.
Assuming it is the same, then all I can say is that the same thing happens with a networked Excel spreadsheet file. Since it cannot be edited by more than one person at a time, it cannot be opened for editing if anyone else is using it. However you can open it as Read Only.

I cannot edit a table located in the server. It always gives me an error that says "Either an object bound to table 'PHONE_DATA' is open or another user has the table open.." (please see screenshot below)

But I am sure that there is nobody in the network that is accessing the specific database or table except for me. I also have full permission in the server.
I would really appreciate your help on this. Regards.
