Lock Files Split Database
Heidi Ihnen 
    
2 years ago
I have a split database.  FE and Be, each user getting a shortcut to a bat file that copies the latest FE to their computer then opens the database for them.  I am having an issue where some users don't listen (I know) and still try and log in over a VPN or internet into the network and it leaves the lock file in a locked out state that I can not delete, even though I tell them the database will not work well doing this over those connections.  To only log in when on the actual network at the office.  Anyway, how can I determine who the culprit is that keeps leaving the lockfile in a locked state where I cannot delete it.  Yet the users are not logged in anymore.  It is making it difficult to get in and do compact and repair on the BE when needed.  
I do have code in where I can boot a user, but when a user leaves it in that state and they don't actually have it open anymore, that does not work.  It's just that the lock file is not deleting. HELP?

It may be more an Access update thing than just your users.
