I am getting this error saying someone is logged in exclusively to my
Database when I try to update the MDE file.

The problem is that the user is ME!! I have shut down my computer
completely, but the security file still shows I am in it...even though I do
not have it open. How do I fix this without having to re-do my whole
database?
 
With everyone out of the database, check the folder where the mdb is located. If you see a ldb file, delete it.
 
I did delete the ldb file - but it will not allow me to - says its open by
another user (me)
 
I did - but it will not allow me to. States"Cannot delete...It is being used
by another person or program. Close and try again." This is after everyone
was logged out - incuding myself.
 
You should be able to release the lock on the file in Computer Management - you may need an administrator to do this.

Or you could try rebooting and then delete the ldb.

Do you mean you DID delete the lockfile? Or that you tried to, and still couldn't do it?

As Joan said in the other post (which is really where you should have replied), reboot the machine.
That should clear the .ldb file for you, or at least allow you to delete it.
