A similar thing just happened at one of my clients. Usually, one user has one or more of the database files "open" and they can just close those files for the user via the network. In this case, no one had the files open so they rebooted the server and that cleared the lock.
However, I was able to copy the four files to a new name without problem prior to the reboot and could have run the database under the new name in a pinch until the file lock was cleared. So you might try just a simple file copy. > Last night our power went out while I was working on RBase for DOS 6.5+ > at home. When I rebooted, the db I was working on would not connect > (error 7).
