sometimes while working in access forms the user get a message "the action can not be completed at this time try at other time".
after clicking on ok the whole database get closed.
what will be the possible causes for this error?

The only times I have seen this error message have been on a system that was set up for shared access and the person was either:

a. In view/read only access mode or

b. Someone lese was actually making an entry to that specific table at that time and thus the system could not get access until the other person had finished.

In either case the database should return to the point just prior to the 'update' request. If the system is closing down it is likely to be an error in the 'actions scripting for the button on that message' thus requiring the administrator to check the program code.
