This is probably a mdl file (l not 1).
A mdl file is always present when somebody has opened the database file,
in this case the security file.
In this file all locks are kepded and is needed for Access to operate.

This does not cause any lockouts for users unless some bad programming
or other (security?) issues.

Now Access is being rude to me.  I recently moved the security file that
controls my database from each person's own hard drive to a centralized
location on the network.  Every couple of days, the security file named
rb.mdw has a friend, rb.md1, locking out most of the users.  Does anyone
know what this is and how to prevent it?  Thanks.
