I want to overwrite the file for my Access Database but an error prevents it. My webhost technical support says the the database is open and that is why I can't overwright it. They tell me that the script is supposed to close the database but I had this issue before and expert exchange helpers explained to me that the database is open and closed by the server and not the script. The webhost technical support tells me as long as the .lbd file exists, the database is open. I have tried to delete this file but am not able to. Can someone help me figure out why I can't overwright my database file?<br />
Thanks!!!<br />

Problem overwriting MS Access Database

A web server refers to the software that helps to deliver web content that can be accessed either through the Internet or through an intranet. The primary function of a web server is to store, process and deliver web pages to clients. The communication between client and server takes place using the Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP). The most common use of web servers is to host websites, but there are other uses such as gaming, data storage, running enterprise applications, handling email, FTP, etc.
