Capture CIS Database File Read Only Issue

chadga

We are working with OrCAD Capture CIS 17.2. I am a librarian who populates the library data onto an Access .MDB file and all the Libraries sit in my PC. When Captuer CIS is opened in the Client PC, and later I try to open my Database file to add new components, I get a Pop-up telling it is in use and can be opened as Read-Only. 

Now If I want to change or add anything to the database file, I have to close all Capture CIS tools and then do it. Is this how it is usually done? Or is there any way to configure the database where we can edit database file and use Capture CIS simultaneously?

    Well, don't use Access.

    You can deploy Microsoft SQL Server 17 for free for database sizes under 10gb.

    How many parts do you have in your library?   

    Component Information Portal is super nice since you already have CIS.   It definitely won't work with Access.
