I have a database which has been locked.
The file is "Microsoft Access Record-Locking Information". (.Idb) is the
extention of the file.
I need to unlock it any help will be appriciated.

In normal circumstances LDB files are not database files, but "lock

no need to ever open such files yourself, and you can delete them once
all users are out of the application.

Tom,
But the information in this data base has to be used for future day to day
operation of the business. Is there any way to retrive the data in this file?

You wrote about LDB files. That's not where your data is. Just look at
the file size. It is (should be) less than 1 KB (1000 characters). So
it could not possibly contain all your data.

Your data is in an MDB file - most likely. What happens when you try
to open it using MsAccess?

Dear DJ or anyone else,

I'm a new PC user with Vista Home Premium. I went web surfing and picked up
a lot of trojans. They have been quarantined and/or removed by Windows
Defender. PC seems to be working fine but is there anything else iIshould do
to clean up my system?? I downloaded STOPzilla off the internet which says
that there are lots on my unit to be removed. Can STOPzilla be trusted?? Is
it worth the money??

Does anyone know about this??

Bye,
Will
