Can't delete "lock" file

Hi all,

I have a client that who has a Access issue. They keep a "master.mdb " file
on their server, and each of the users running Access on their local
machine, accesses the file over the network. All is fine, except recently
something happened that blocked everyone from making updates to the DB. I
checked and found a "master.ldb " file that has the attributes
"Access.lockfil e.9" and is owned by one of the users. I tried to delete it
but I got an error that said "..sharing violation. Th efile may be in use.."

HELP!

Nate

Within this 'WIF' File I have "Read Only" user's who are only provided access to the DB only so they can view the data. Now if I give them full permissions to the folder where...

When is it appropriate to use "volatile" keyword? The docs simply state: " The volatile modifier is usually used for a field that is accessed by multiple threads without using the lock Statement (C# Reference) statement to serialize access. " But when is it better to use "volatile" instead of "lock" ?

I have an Access 2003 database that is used by around sixty users. Routinely I can't gain access, even late at night after I KNOW that no one is using it. The database is stored on a server that is accessed through a Citrix environment. I've implemented an inactivity timer that still doesn't seem to get the job done. Any ideas?
