Icon Frequently Asked Questions

When I try to share the same database with multiple client applications, I receive the error "ElevateDB Error #300 Cannot lock database [DatabaseName] for shared access" when I start the second client application. Why am I receiving this error ?

The second client application and, possibly, other client applications is/are using a different configuration file path than that of the first client application that already has the database opened. To correct this issue, make sure that all client applications are using the same configuration file path. For more information on setting the configuration file path, please see the following manual topics:
