I sometimes get this message when I am adding new objects from the development MDB, and at the end I run a compact and repair. I am using 2003, and I don't get it.
How can one recover from this....
 
Also, there is no hanging LDB file, the LDB gets created and deleted ok.
 
IT was a permissions thing, my network group will give me full access in that folder. I did not create that folder.

Troubleshooting....
Created a new folder on the nework, copied the database to it, then was able to run the compact and repair.
As you know the compact and repair removes the old MDB and creates a new one...so I did not have full RW....

Makes sense, but its kind of stupid...
