Database has been placed in a state by user C. Sharp 05.06.2006 20:08:02 My users are getting the following error when trying to open a mutli-user DB on CITRIX. I've tried to delete the LCK file but it will not let me. Does anyone know what might be causing this error? Error: The database has been placed in a state by user <ADMIN> on machine <computer name> that prevents it from being opened or locked. (Error 3734) Explanation: This error occurs when the new passive shutdown/connection control is being used. This error message indicates that a user set the database in a mode that will prevent other users from opening it.
