Back end .ldb

[RichMorrison]

Please confirm this.

I have a front end app on network server
S: \ Apps \ Test \ FrontEnd.MDB

This MDB contains forms, reports, queries, and modules. It also attaches back end tables on network server
S: \ Data \ Test \ BackEnd.MDB

When I launch "FrontEnd", an ldb file is created. When I close FrontEnd, the ldb file is deleted.

I do not see an ldb for the "BackEnd".

The MDBs are Access97. The network is Novell.

Thanks,
RichM

Here is what I figured out…

I am running two different split databases… With both databases opened; one of the backends has a ldb file while the other does not.

The differences between the two databases;

The one with the ldb file has an Access Switchboard… The switchboard needs to access a table for its information.

The other has a form acting as a switchboard.

On the database that doesn’t have a ldb file; as soon as I open a form or something that needs information from the backend database I get a ldb file for that backend.

So I guess what I am trying to say is this; you may not be accessing the backend at the time you are looking for the ldb file.
