ACCESS file locking

Hello.

Is the application using ODBC? If so then please advise (but you can try the following anyway)

Exit the application and then do a search for any files called *.ldb. This is the Access network control file. Delete it. Access is supposed to create a new one each time you start the db. Sounds like it isn't or there are a couple of them floating around.

Then open Access by itself and select the Tools > Database Utilities > Compact and Repair Database from the menu. Select your database and allow Access to repair it.

In most cases the above steps will fix the problem.

Hi,
You can do the following,
Open .ldb file in a Note Pad which is a text File. you can See the Computer Name and User Name Who Access the File. Find it Out who had open the File and Close it From there.

If no body had open it. Just Open the file from the Computer it(*.ldb) has specified and Close it Properly.

Then try to do whatever you wants to do.
