This can happen when (occasionly for whatever reason) the temporary
database.ldb-file is not deleted. Then you are logged in to the database two
times with the same user name on the same machine. This prevents Protel from
compacting when you are closing the ddb because your "Phantom" still has opened
it. With earlier service packs I could see this effect several times and had to
help myself sometimes by manually delete the database.ldb-file in the Windows
Explorer.
Knock on wood, since service pack 4 or 5 I can't remember to have seen this
again!
