Default Re: Locked M$2004 File

Don't use Money Express anymore... I'll try the safe mode idea that Tagman suggested.

How about rebooting in safe mode and then trying to delete the ird file.
Then perhaps a file rebuild...

Just a thought

Okay, I use M$2004 Deluxe. Today, it crashed on me just as I was hitting enter to submit a transaction. I got the typical Windows XP message of "this application caused an error causing it to shut down... do you want to submit a report to Microsoft... do you want to restart the application..."

Apparenlty when this happened the lrd file that locks the data file, did not release. So now I cannot get into my data file as it thinks it's being used already by another application. I also cannot delete the data file or the lrd file as both think they are being used by another application.

I had a backup of my file, so I can still access my data, but how do I get rid of these locked files now. I have tried to reboot and then delete them before any application is opened, but to no avail.

Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks,
The Merg

Okay, I use M$2004 Deluxe. Today, it crashed on me just as I was hitting
enter to submit a transaction. I got the typical Windows XP message of "this
application caused an error causing it to shut down... do you want to submit
a report to Microsoft... do you want to restart the application..."

Apparenlty when this happened the lrd file that locks the data file, did not
release. So now I cannot get into my data file as it thinks it's being used
already by another application. I also cannot delete the data file or the
lrd file as both think they are being used by another application.

I had a backup of my file, so I can still access my data, but how do I get
rid of these locked files now. I have tried to reboot and then delete them
before any application is opened, but to no avail.

Anyone have any ideas?

Default Locked M$2004 File
