New module prevents further design changes

In an attempt to get my frontend backend to automatically relink I tried the
code found here: http://www.mvps.org/access/tables/tbl0009.htm that was
recommended in many threads I read on the subject. To be honest, I'm not
sure if it did what I wanted, but now I can't make ANY changes to the
frontend. I get a warning that I "do not have exclusive access to the
database at this time and changes may not be saved". They are not changed.
I can't delete the module for the same reason. I do have a backup copy so I
lost very little work and have actually brought the backup up to the most
current changes, but I can't even delete the affected copy, with the module.
It's affected the backend too as I can't delete it either. I'd guess the
code is maintaining a connection somehow so both files think someone else is
using them(?). What have I done wrong and how to I get rid of the module and
or the entire files? Thanks
 
I doubt very much that it's related to the code from "The Access Web": I use
that code all the time with no problems.

It's possible something hiccupped with your application, and a reboot might
help.

Where is your front-end located? It should be on your hard-drive, not the
network.
 
Doug to the rescue again, thanks! Both the FE and BE are in the same folder

I just preformed a reboot and the problem is solved. I was able to delete
the files that wouldn't delete before. Not sure what happened, but thanks
for the tip!

You may have got out of Access improperly at some point, so that there was
still a handle on the file.
