With respect to the .ldb file
- Do not open or delete it
Any time you open an Access mdb, Access temporarily creates a lock file to manage the mdb

| I've been able, with the help of server host, to download my feedback.mdb a
| different way (not using there FTPclient). So part off my problem is solved.
| However when I open Feedback.mdb with MS Access, it shows me a empty table,
| eventhough I have already filled out feedback forms many times via the
| internet. Note: I don't know if this is worthy of mentioning but when in my
| documents folder I click on the feedback.mdb , it ofcourse, automatically
| turns on MS Access, but in my documents folder, it changes the feedback.mdb
| icon into 2 icons 1st is the same, 2nd is a feedback.ldb with locked icon. Am
| I supposed to be able to open that locked icon, and how?
