I have an Access Database in 2003 format that is locked. The problem is, no one is in the file any files that have linked tables to it.

When I try to compact the DB, it states that my computer is the one locking it. I have exited and restarted my computer, but still no change.

Any ideas?

Try opening the database exclusively , use the Open dialog and choose your db and the exclusive option. If it says it can't , especially after a reboot then some other pc / process must have it open ...



Hope this helps!

Regards
