I've had the same experience with the ldb. Are there any bad ramifications
to not maintaining a database connection when using Access?

I believe that when you are setting up the DSN if you DO NOT click maintain
database connections this eliminates the problem.

If anyone else is working with MS Access you've probably had the same
annoying experience!!
I often have to swap backed up databases (.mdb files) and if I've been
using the old database that I want to copy over -- there is always a damn
.ldb (file / record locking file) in the directory that prevents me from
overwriting the old database.
I know how to cure this problem on the web (make a dummy query to a
nonexistent table in the same database) but that technique doe not seem to
work on my hard drive? I usually end up, annoyed as hell, having to re-boot
to be able to delete the damn thing off.
Does anybody know of a simpler way to dispatch this pesky little .ldb file
-- without rebooting?
Thanks,
Dru
