Error 3734 -- unable to open database

Eek! What did I do? And more urgently, how can I undo it? I'm getting the
error 3734 (The database has been placed in a state by user <name> on machine
<name> that prevents it from being opened or locked.) when attempting to open
the database.

I am still developing it. It is not shared or on a network. It is a single
file (back end not split out yet). No security has been set.

How can I restore this file? Help!

I sometimes find this happens when a Database crashes.
Try deleting the ldb file and re-opening the database.

Let me know if this resolves the problem.

Thanks Anthony. When I went to delete the ldb file it wasn't there ... and
the database opened correctly. Hmmmm, self-healing crashes -- kinda spooky.

I'll keep your advice in mind if this happens again.
