Recovering the mdb

Hi,

I am getting an error while trying to open the mdb. "Microsoft Jet Engine
cannot process the file as the file is locked by some other user".

I tried to repair the mdb using compact and Repair feature in Access.

But it throwed me same error message.
Is there any way to recover the mdb file?

Thanks,
Venu

Look in the same folder as the .mdb file for a file with the same filename but
with a .ldb extension. Delete this file. It might be necessary to reboot if
there was some interruption to Access activity. Once the .ldb is gone try
opening the database again.
