Dru,
The ldb file is used by access as well as Cold Fusion. So, if you have that
database open in Access on your desktop, an ldb file will be present. If
you close that database (don't have it open in Access on your desktop) the
ldb file on your hard drive should go away.
Hope that helps,
Peter Janett
