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

0	We discovered a big source of those locking errors recently. Upgrade to version 6.5 (or newer) and those errors should go away. link answered 03 Jul '17, 20:18 Doug ♦♦ 10.2k●12●21●38 accept rate: 21%
