Hi
When I click the design icon I get the message:"you do not have exclusive 
access to the database at this time. If you proceed to make changes, you may 
not be able to save them later".
Is it mean that somebody else opens the report? I asked my colegous and they 
said that they didn't.
I don't know what to do.
Can you advise?

It's not just the report. You need to get everyone out of the database. If 
everyone claims to be out of the database, including yourself, go to the 
folder that holds the database file and look for a similarly named file with 
an ldb or laccdb suffix. Delete it the try to modify the report.

This is just one reason why (1) the database should be split, and (2) any 
development or changes to the database should be done in a test 
environment/sandbox instead of a production database.
