Everytime I try to open a connection to my database I get this error message:

The database has been placed in a state by user 'Admin' on machine 'PAD319205' that prevents it from being opened or locked.

Could someone provide an explaination for what it means and what I can do to fix the problem? Thanks.

Is that the number of the machine you are sitting at?
Is this like an Access database? Oracle? SQLServer?
What is the statement that generates the error?

I am using an Access database on a network. I'm not sure what the PAD319205' is and can only assume that is the designation for the machine the database resides on. The following is the code I am using to make the connection and I copied it from another source. It is possible I neglected to alter the code for the database I am using, but will need guidance in figuring this one out. Thanks.

    Dim cn As ADODB.Connection
    Dim rs As ADODB.Recordset

    Set rs = New ADODB.Recordset
    Set cn = New ADODB.Connection
    SQL = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=" & strPathToDB & ";Persist Security Info=false"
