The db1.mdb, etc., files are compacted copies of the database that
couldn't be renamed, perhaps because the original couldn't be deleted
for some reason.  If you're spawning those, then you probably aren't
actually compacting your database even though you may think you are.  If
the database is in a partially compiled state (this is a VBA project
issue, not compact and repair), then that might be what is causing the
problem.  Try turning off the autocompact and then using the decompile
switch to open the database and use the bypass key to avoid running any
code. Then close the database, reopen without the decompile switch but
using the bypass, and compile and save the VBA project.  Then try
turning compact on exit back on and see if that cures the problem.

Hello Charlotte,

i indeed have turned on Compile (compact and repair) after Exit, and
indeed its a permissions protected database. 
So i can delete these db1.mdb etc without any troubles??

Another question: Is compiling after exit a good option, because the
fact that in this way the database several times a day wil be compacted.

Do you have Compile on Exit turned on?  I've usually seen that kind of
thing when the database attempted to compact but for some reason (often
permissions), it couldn't delete the original and rename the db1.mdb,
etc.

Hello Group,

i have an front & backend mdb on a server. The front-end creates
temporary?? databases named as db1.mdb, db2.mdb, db3.mdb etc. each with
different filesize.

Why is this and why are these not deleted automatically?

TIA
