Server Crash Can't Open DB

[Chuck]

Good Morning.

Our server crashed this AM. Users can't open a shared
Access Database. They receive the following: "Can not
open DB. File xx already in use". We are unsure what to
do at point other than restoring the file. We would
appreciate any ideas.

Thanks.

Open the folder where the mdb is and look for a file with the same name, but
an extension of ldb. Delete the ldb file.

Open the database, and run Tools, Database Utilities, Compact.
