We are using an Access 2000 application on a Windows NT / Citix server. The
app is split into a front end and back end mdb, and each user has the front
end mdb in their own folder.
Since we have put the front end mdb into each user's folder, I've noticed
the appearance in some of them of db1.mdb, db2.mdb etc.
It seems like these files are created when the users start their
applications, then closed and deleted when they exit the app. I suspect
that these files have been left behind when the server was rebooted while
the application was open for these users.
What is the function of these files and how can they be deleted? Is there
anyway to eliminate this problem short of not rebooting the server?
Many thanks,
Mike Thomas

Hi Mike, just a thougt, but are the databases set to be compresed on exit ?

Mike,
The db1.mdb, db2.mdb etc. files are being created because your users are trying
to create new database files. When you try to create a new database, Access
first requires you to create and save a file name for the database. Access
defaults to dbX.mdb for the file name and then provides you an opportunity to
give the file a name of your choice.
Your application apparently displays the Access menu at the top allowing the
users full access to Access as well as the application. If you would put a
custom menu at the top of your aplication, you would no longer see db1.mdb,
db2.mdb etc. because the users could no longer create new databases.

Not bad, yes they are, I had not thought of this. Some are getting left

Hi!
I need to read a file (line-by-line) in reverse order, without reading the
whole file into memory first.
Is there an easy way of doing this? As in, is there a PHP function I could
use?
The solution has to be platform independent, so "popen("tac $filename")...
wouldn't work.
