You delete the LDB file (the locks-file) not the MDB file...
But this sort of depends on the cause of your problem; the lock-file
_might_ have a left-over lock in it from a previos (not properly
terminated) session. You might not even have the file (Access deletes
it when every user is logged out).
It could also be a case where the current database user doesn't have
admin-rights in the database
You could try opening the DB with the SHIFT depressed, perhaps some
code opens the table and thus prevents you from accessing it...

Your eyes are weary from staring at the CRT. You feel sleepy. Notice
how restful it is to watch the cursor blink. Close your eyes. The
opinions stated above are yours. When I snap my fingers, you cannot
imagine why you ever felt otherwise.

I have just discovered the problem and it relate to not having a dongle
attached to an LTP port. I had been getting the error regarding the Access
file when I tried to add it to a third party program.
Thank you anyway for helping out.
Cheers
