ldb file

[Kurt Neumann]

i have a access 2000 database on a network and although there are no
sessions of my dataase open on any computer, the ldb file persists and
consequently I cannot edit any form, table, etc. Is there any way to close
down the database, ie.) get rid of the .ldb file?
I'm new to all this, thanks in advance.

Have you tried to:
-delete the file
-open the file with NotePad to see which computer might be the issue

Are you sure you need to edit a shared copy of the file? Normally you split
your application into front and back end mdb files. You work on a copy of
the front end and then distribute it to other users when testing is
complete.

In addition to Duane's response, have all users got RWXD permissions to the
folder? When the last user logs off the ldb should be deleted
automatically.
