LDB File

I have an LDB file that I cannot delete. It seems to be stuck. There is no one using the associated MDB file. I have opened the mdb file, closed it. When I try to delete either of the files I get a sharing violation. Thanks, Len

this. probably some hidden process opened it. try to restart your PC

Someone who was using the associated MDB file must have quit unexpectedly.
The only way to release the lock in that circumstance is to reboot. Or if
the LDB is running on a server, you may be able to force the file to close
from the console.
