RE: Extremely Persistant Access ldb Lock File
In the CF admin, make sure Maintain Database Connection is not checked. That should help. www.easycfm.com also has some very nice, quick tutorials on how to create CFM pages that can add/delete data from the db without having to FTP it.

RE: Extremely Persistant Access ldb Lock File
Assuming this is a win32 environment? kill.exe or pskill.exe are you're friends - if you don't have kill.exe from I think the nt4.0 optionkit, the psutils from www.sysinternals.com should be your bestest friends ever - and they're free! stop IIS/Apache and stop CF then kill the processes with the exes, delete the LDB file, rename the original.mdb file and restart the services. upload your access database. Batchfiles are you're friend. that'll get through 95% of issues causing ldb locks. the other 5% generally require a restart of the server. Moral of the story is use SQL :) -Original Message- From: Les Mizzell [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, 4 September 2003 1:35 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: Extremely Persistant Access ldb Lock File This one has got a client almost in tears.

Check the CFAdministrator Datasource definition and make sure Maintain Database Connection is NOT checked.
