somebody please tell me how I delete an ".LDB" file

I generally split the mdbs, and put the backends in a hidden folder - users
have a hard time deleting something they can't find.

I have done just that - removed the "delete" permission. I do so
because I don't want my users accidentally (or otherwise) deleting the
.mdb files (there are many). The .ldb files tend to accumulate, sure,
but I just go in and delete them every so often.

Another possible reason the ldb doesn't get deleted is if users
don't have delete permission on the folder where the mdb is located;
I suppose one could remove this permission to ensure the ldb doesn't
get deleted, but darned if I know why you'd do that.

The rules have ALWAYS been to cross-post (i.e.: post the same message once
to multiple newsgroups), not multi-post (post the same message separately
to multiple newsgroups). In that way, all answers to the thread will
appear together, regardless of what newsgroup the responder is currently
in and people using proper news readers won't have to read the post more
than once. It also requires fewer server resources.

Having said that, this particular post is excessively cross-posted...

I've just joined this group and I'm shocked :-)

What are these respected MVPs doing cross-posting? Did someone change
the rules and I missed it?

Trey, did you bother to read Ed's response before replying to it?
