I have a web application which runs against a MSACCESS 2000 database.
Apparently whenever a web connection runs a query and exits abnormally maybe due to lost of connection or webuser termination,the ldb file remains and prevents any other web users from accessing the database.I can only kill the process by restarting the machine.Does anyone know of a way of killing this process which is linked to that ldb without restarting the server?

The Windows NT Resource Kit includes KILL.EXE, a small utility that operates much like its UNIX command counterpart. You can kill a process by PID or by name (partial name matches are allowed).

Good luck, -Ewing

Have you app run in its own memory space. When it hangs you can them run MTXSTOP and that will unload the app. See if that helps.
