Unable to delete .ldb

[Tim REid]

Twice today I have run into a situation where i could not
delete an ldb file of a database that was closed. In
both cases I had to reboot the system to get rid of
them. Is there another way?

Well, find out why those files are being left around. Access normally
deletes them automatically when the last user exits the database.

Are some users just turning off their PCs without quitting the database
properly? Are they getting runtime errors in the database? Do they all have
Delete permission to the folder containing the database?

HTH,

Ok, why >are< they being left behind? If you told us that, & we could help
you solve that problem, wouldn't that be a better result?
