How then do I obtain exclusive access to a Studio Repository ?
If you are using Microsoft Access for your Studio Repository, you can obtain exclusive access to the Access database in one of two ways. The first way is at the ODBC level through the ODBC Data Source Administrator panel : select the Repository’s DSN, Configure->Options, and then check the Exclusive box. The second way is directly through the Access application : having opened the Repository’s database, enter Tools->Options->Advanced and click the Exclusive radio button in the Default Open Mode section. If you are using Microsoft SQL Server for your Studio Repository, you can obtain exclusive access through the Enterprise Manager : select the database that you wish to restrict, then right-click Properties->Options and finally click the Restrict Access check-box followed by the Single User radio button.
