We discovered a big source of those locking errors recently. Upgrade to version 6.5 (or newer) and those errors should go away.

Hi Khoa,

Database locking errors are usually caused by some other application accessing a database file at just the wrong moment. Usually it is an anti-virus or backup app doing it. We recommend having those applications ignore the following folders:

C:Program Files (x86)PA File Sight

Databases
Config
Reports
Logs

Thanks
Quinn
