Hey,

I am using SQl Server 7, and am trying to delete some old databases from the server. Some of them get deleted ok, others give me an Error 3702 - database still in use.

Can anyone tell me how I can find out why it is still in use? Or even how I can delete it anyway and what dangers there might be doing that.

Thanks,

Al

Nevermind, it seems that restarting the service has solved my problems.
