record locking error

[Bill Moore]

I have two nearly identical databases, A and B.

I was making some cosmetic modifications to a form in B that I have previously made successfully in A. I was unable to save changes and I was left with a 64-byte file with the extension .ldb. It contained information related to record locking. This caused the DB application to quit responding, leaving me no choice to go into Task Manager and exit the applciation.

When the error first occurred, I was editing the form over a wireless network. Thinking that may have been the problem, I moved the app to my local drive and got the same error there.

I assume the .ldb extension on the file might mean "locked database".

Would appreciate any help.

Thx.

What Is An LDB File?

What Is An LDB File?

Whenever you open an Access database, a file with the same name as the database and an extension of LDB will be opened automatically. For example if you open Northwind.mdb in the samples directory of your Access/Office installation, a file called Northwind.ldb will be generated. This new file keeps track of users and the objects that require some form of locking in the database. When all users have exited gracefully from the database, the LDB file is closed down and deleted.
