wait window thisform.datasessionid It showed 2 (funny, because my form's datasession property is set to 1 (default datasession) Then I ran these commands: Set Datasession to 1 Close All Close Databases all Set Datasession to thisform.datasessionid Close All Close Databases all And then I could erase the database files Thank you all for your replies.
