DB Locking Issue

[Ray]

My database is store on a server that went down temporary and now when i try
to open my database i got a message about a serious error occurring and would
i like to continue to open it. I click Yes and i get an error report log. I
went into the Help menu and enabled the database and a attempted to repair it
but it does not help. I noticed that the record lock tha tappears when the
database is still open is still open. Is there a way to unlock it? Please
HELP!!!

Thanks,
RAY

You can try deleting the .LDB lock file, and see if that will let you in.
However, I seem to recall the message received, for this problem, is
different than what you are experiencing.

If the file is stored on a server, is there a recent backup copy available?

Good luck.

Thanks for the info but i still can't enter. I tried exporting info into a
new database, using Excel to read the data, opening the DB from the ODBC..
nothing. Can anyone think of anohter way to get into this database or at
least retireve the information and store it in a new database. I have a back
up db that for some reason has not backed anything up since May so i really
need to get back into this other db. PLease help!
