Getting an erroneous .ldb - no one is in the data base in Access

Whenever we create a new database .mdb we also get a locked database .ldb
automatically. No one else is accessing the database so it shouldn't be
locked. We are using Access 2000.
 
an ldb file is created whenever a user opens an Access database. You will
not be able to delete the file as long as the database is open.

If the application locks up, the network goes down, or some other abnormal
procedure occures, the ldb file could remain open although the Access mdb has
actually been closed. In this case, you should be able to manually delete
the ldb file.

If your problem is that a second person cannot open the database because
someone already has it open, you will need to check the Default Open Mode
(located on the Options dialog, Advanced tab) to make sure it is set to Shared
