Default Cannot Open Database Exclusively

Occasionally, I have experienced times when I am unable to open a database
exclusively. I understand that if someone has it open, its not possible to
open it exclusively. However, I have a tracking mechanism in the database
that checks to see who has the database open.

Has anyone ever experienced times when you are unable to exclusively open the
database to make some updates / modifications?

Its almost like the dB was busy doing something and it locked up doing some
sort of procedure.

Any ideas????

Using Windows Explorer, navigate to the folder with the database. If
you find a locks database (.ldb) try to delete it. If there's no one
in the application it should delete OK. Now try to gain exclusive
access to it.

Thanks, but I've already tried that. It still tells me that I can't delete
it because it is locked by another user.

Any other thoughts.
