Database creates another file when first opened? What causes this?

Hi.

I've noticed this a couple of times so far. I created a database which is
stored on a server and is shared by about 6 or so users. Sometimes, when the
file is opened, it creates another file called "db1.mdb". When that file is
clicked on, there is a message "unrecognized database format". Any idea
where this file is coming from/ why it's created?

it has to do with compact and repair

in a multi-user environment you need to make sure people doint have
'compact on close' enabled

or if it crashes; it could take a copy of itself automagically.. as
part of the recovery process

OK. Thanks. It does have compact & repair enabled & it is in a multi-user
environment. I'll disable it.
