Hello,
I have an Access data base which has been idle for days
and although no one is using it, the ldb file is open and I can't delete the data base. Can you help? Thank you.

Try doing a Kill on the ldb file.

I am what I am based on the decisions I have made.

Hello D,
Thank you for your reply. What kill command? This is Windows. Can you elaborate? Thanks. J
 
Hopefully the Kill thing will work but I can tell you that I have had to re-boot my server to clear it. There's got to be a better way, but it worked.
 
From a command line, type the following:


Kill CompletePathAndFileNameHere

I am what I am based on the decisions I have made.
