MS Access Forum / New Users / April 2005Mystery file lock
Our group is accessing several Access 2000 databases (MDB) files on our network via local MDE files and linked tables. On occation, we find we cannot Compact and Repair our database (MDB) files because there is a file lock present. When we check the PC, Access or the linked file is not open or visibly running. Opening and closing the local file does not clear the lock. Once we reboot the PC, the file lock clears and we can Compact and Repair the database. Any ideas as to the cause and prevention? Thanks Jay Have you made sure that it's not a service that's locking the file rather than a program? I'm pretty sure access will have a service for running Access. > Our group is accessing several Access 2000 databases (MDB) > files on our network via local MDE files and linked [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > Thanks > Jay Jay, You can get a "mystery lock" sometimes if a user exits Access abnormally. The biggest culprit is probably someone "killing" Access by using Ctrl + Alt + Delete. The only way to prevent it is to threaten the removal of body parts.
