Hello
I have been working on a database in my zip drive (no other backup) and now
it won't open. States that it is in use by another user. Any tips or
suggestions?

This sounds like your db did not close completely after most recent use.
If so then expect to find your db listed as 'nameofdb'.mdb as well as
'nameofdb.ldb' .
If that is so, copy it to a temporary folder as a precaution then delete the
..ldb version.
