[RESOLVED] Record-locking file not being deleted

Hi,

I have a small application that connects to an Access database, makes a change in one row, then disconnects. While it's connected, it creates a record-locking file (.ldb), but this doesn't seem to be removed when the user disconnects from the database. The only way to clear it is to open and close the database in Access.

This is the code (in a module):

VB Code:

Option Explicit
 
'The connection object for the database, used throughout the application
Public objConn As ADODB.Connection
 
'A function to create the database connection
'-Requires a path to the database (strPath)
'-Requires a password for the database (strDatabasePassword)
'-Returns true if connection made
'-Returns false if no connection as database does not exist
Function ConnectToDatabase(ByVal strPath As String, _
  ByVal strDatabasePassword As String) As Boolean
    'Change the pointer to an hourglass
    Screen.MousePointer = vbHourglass
    
    'If the database exists
    If Dir(strPath) <> "" Then
        'Make objConn a new instance of the ADODB.Connection class
        Set objConn = New ADODB.Connection
    
        'Define the connection string for the database
        '-Microsoft Jet 4.0 is the Provider
        '-The database path is passed as an argument to the function
        '-Access mode is not limited to prevent errors
        '-The user connects as Admin to allow any changes to be made
        objConn.ConnectionString = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;" & _
          "Data Source=" & strPath & ";" & _
          "Mode=Share Deny None;" & _
          "User ID=Admin;"
      
        'The password for the database is passed as an argument to the function
        objConn.Properties("Jet OLEDB:Database Password") = strDatabasePassword
 
        'Open the connection object
        objConn.Open
        
        'Connection made
        ConnectToDatabase = True
    Else
        'If the database does not exist, return false
        ConnectToDatabase = False
    End If
    
    'Set the pointer back to normal
    Screen.MousePointer = vbDefault
End Function
 
'Routine to disconnect from the database
Sub DisconnectFromDatabase()
    'Check that the connection is not already closed
    If objConn.State <> adStateClosed Then
        'Close the connection
        objConn.Close
    End If
    
    'Set it to nothing
    Set objConn = Nothing
End Sub

Any ideas?
