I think releasing the DSN programmatically also removes the Access lock:

<CFSET temp=CFUSION_DISABLE_DBCONNECTIONS("{your DSN here}", 1)>

Of course, don't forget to re-enable the DSN:

<CFSET temp=CFUSION_DISABLE_DBCONNECTIONS("{your DSN here}", 0)>

If you're unfamiliar with the CFUSION_DISABLE_DBCONNECTIONS() function,
it's undocumented. Or at least was in the past.

I'm not too sure about MX control over this, but I know a trick for
releasing .ldb files.

You have to create a page with a query to the DSN for the locked file.

The query should request from a table that does NOT exist in the
database so
it will give a SQL error when accessed.

Open the error generating page in your browser.

The .ldb should disappear, but only until another user/app. accesses the
DSN
with a valid query.

Glad I can finally contribute to this forum!!

> With Cold Fusion Server 5, I deselected the "maintain connections"
and
clients were able to access their ODBC databases with ftp. Since I have
upgraded to Cold Fusion MX, the client is complaining that the files are
locked and asking that I release them. Is their something different
about MX
in the way it handles this that I can control?
