    Access 2007 DB Locked up

    I have an Access DB shared through a network folder. It is currently frozen and showing a record lock, however, none of the users have it open. Is there a way to kill the lock so I can restore it?



    Help Please! Thanks!

    Just delete the lock file. Access will create it again when it is needed.

    It will not allow me to delete it. It says it is in use by another program...
