What does it mean when it says my datafile is locked?

You might receive this error when trying to launch Genie Server or Solo applications on your server machine.

This error occurs because another application is already accessing the database. This might be because you are launching Solo while Server is running (or vice versa), or because your Genie Server application is running as a service. Only one application can access the Genie Database at a time, so it is not possible for Solo and Server to be running at once. To correct this issue, locate the application currently accessing the database, quit and then launch your desired application. If your Server application is running as a service, then the service will need to be stopped. 

Please Note: If the application currently accessing the database is Genie Server, please ensure that no users are logged into Client at the time of quitting. Once the Genie Server is quit, all users will be kicked out and no users will be able to log on until the Server application is restarted.
