Cannot Delete <file> It is being used by another person or program error


Recommended Posts

Posted

Hello,

 

I am getting this error. It is a .mdb file and Access is not running.

 

Any idea how I find out what process is grabbing this file?

 

It is on a server and rebooting is not an option right now.

 

Help?

 

Thanks,

SysInternals "Process Explorer" can do that.

 

Select "Find" and enter the file name.
