Exclusive Use

[Richard]

I have a database that we cannot open because it claims
that the document is already opened by another user in
exclusive use mode. The file is not open by anyone. Is
there anyway to remove this flag from the database?

.

Open the database from the machine that it says has it
locked and then close it. If this doesn't work or you
don't know which machine then just delete the lock file
in the folder with the database (should be named the same
as the database but it is a access.lockfile)
