Agent List Access Denied

This error is analogous to Phone Book Access Denied.

You attempted to edit the agent list on a network version of PC Access. PC Access tried to lock the access control file ACCESS.CTL in the PC Access executable directory. This would let you edit the Agent Setup file PCAWIN.AGT for your network while preventing any other PC Access user on your network from editing it before you finish. However, another PC Access user on your network appears to have locked the access control file. (The error message should show the Agent Name of the user who is already editing the agent file.) You will have to wait until this user finishes editing the agent setup file PCAWIN.AGT. Then you will be able to edit the agent list.

If you get this error message repeatedly even though you are sure no other PC Access user on your network is editing the PCAWIN.AGT file, you may have a "stuck" file lock. If so, follow the instructions for an Internal Error.
