Unlock Access database
Corrected....
Yes, the .lccdb is part of the standard process of using an Access relational database applications. It is ALWAYS created when an accdb is opened in shared mode. Normally you do open the accdb shared, unless you specifically open it in exclusive mode. It was probably there before, even if you hadn't noticed it until recently. I suppose that, if you had only opened it in exclusive mode, it wouldn't have created the .lccdb, but that's going to be a deliberate choice.
You WANT it to be created. Please do not try to delete it manually as that can result in serious problems, even corruption of the accdb.
It won't be part of the problem you noted, unless you meant to save IT (the lccdb) under a new name, in which case that's a problem to be avoided and shouldn't be attempted.
I'm still not clear on what the actual problem would be, though. You said you tried to save the accdb as an Access 2002-2003 mdb, and the error message was that the file was in use. I can't replicate that, although OTHER errors are possible. That's why I want to see the screenshots for clues as to what else might be going wrong in that save process.
- Check for running applications in Task Manager including both Apps and Background Processes
- Thank you for the information, that does help me. I still have had problems with the file saying it is still open, even this morning while completing my final Access exam. When trying to rename my folder the message came up that there was a file open so I could not rename it until file was closed. I double checked my files, there was nothing open. I closed out of everything and tried it again and I was still not allowed. I did not have the time to take screen shots during the exam, but I will try to recreate this afternoon.
