I have a nightly automated transfer from SQL Server to MS Access 2000.
Every so often the tranfers gets interrupted and the Access database is
not closed down correctly.
This results in a corrupted database and a corresponding, open .LDB
file neither of which I can get rid of. I have to then re-create the
structure of the Access database in a new folder and start all over
again. I have about 6 identical, corrupted Access folders that just
sit there for months.
Is there a way to get rid of the LDB file so that I can delete the
database(s)?
Thanks in advance!

You can delete the ldb file when no users are attached to it.
Rebooting should do it.

Thanks. You can delete the ldb file when no users are attached to it.

That would mean rebooting the SQL Server machine which must still be
attached, somehow, to the MDB file. There are no other users attached
to it. I just thought there may be a short cut somewhere.

When no users are in the Access .mdb file you can delete the .ldb file
(just highlight the file name in Windows Explorer & hit the Delete key &
click the Yes button on the warning dialog box). If that doesn't work,
sometimes rebooting the machine the .ldb file is on gets rid of it.
You might also try opening the "corrupted" .mdb file & compacting &
repairing it. After closing that file, usually the .ldb file will
disappear.
Good luck,

Normally you can't compact and repair an MDB file if there are other
'users' attached to it which, in this case, appears to be an SQL Server
on the network.
But thanks anyway.

SQL Server has nothing to do w/ the .ldb file, it is purely related to
the Access file.

are happier. Yes, the archives...

Hello,
I have an Access 2000 database that I copied to a new computer with Access
2003. Access 2003 says the file is in Access 2000 file format. I made some
changes to the Access 2000 file code on the computer with Access 2003, and
compiled. I copied the file back to the Access 2000 machine and the file
runs, but the code is unviewable. Any ideas on why this happens?

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
