Sorry my mistake You are correct, I just presumed the 1 was misread with a l and did not think any further....

I've always had and ldb (small "L") file present when someone logs into a database...and for a split db, there is one for the FE, one for the BE and one for the security file...but they're all ldb, not md"x" files. The security file, SecFile.mdw would have a corresponding SecFile.ldb associated with it when someone logs in. Same with the FE and BE files-a corresponding *.ldb file. I can't find any reference anywhere to mdl (small "L") on M$ or Google... If you login "Exclusively" to a db, then this ldb file does not open, letting Access know that nobody else can login because the file is 'locked' by an exclusive user.
