Hi,
I have a client who is running a Front End/Back End Access 2007 database where the back end has a non-standard filename extension (i.e. not mdb, mde, accdb, accde etc.) The extension is not associated with MS Access on his system. (Long story as to why, and its not important here, but he does not want his employees to be able to simply locate the back end database.)
All works fine, except for the fact that in the back end folder, along with the usual filename.ldb, multiple copies of the ldb record locking file keep appearing, with the date and time appended to the filename in the format Filename-YYYY-MM-DD-HH-MM-SS.ldb. These do not get deleted when users log out.
Does anyone know what might cause this? Is it related to having the non-standard filename extension, or another issue entirely?
Thanks for reading, and for any assistance anyone can provide,
Jim
