Dennis,
I've had files end up being "open" even with no indication on the server
that the file was in fact open. Had to reboot the server.
On the server console, right-click My Computer then click on
Manage. Expand the Shared Folders tree then click on Open Files. If your
file is on that list it will tell you who has it open. If it is not there,
you'll have to reboot the server to clear it.
A server went down at a customer and when they got it back up the
RBase.dat file was seen as Open or "in use by another user or application".
Since I had to make changes to the start up file I ended up giving
RBase.dat a different name. Not a good solution. But would "unsharing" the
folder where my dbfiles are located work or would I need to be the
administrator and "force" the closing of the file. I guess this is similar
to the "phantom" user we talk about here when a user exist improperly and
we are unable to open the data base in single user mode.
Thanks,
Dennis
