URp creating desktop file but why?

[janrif]

Every once in a while I find the following file on my desktop:

dbisam.lck

What is it? Why do I need it? How do I get rid of it?

Thank you.

Not really, but I'm quite sure that it's not created by UR. It appears to be something created by DBISAM (UR doesn't use this product): http://www.elevatesoft.com/dbisam4d5...oncurrency.htm

Hmmmm, thanks for the link but I don't knowingly use DBISAM for anything. I don't even know what it is or what it does.

Most likely, some other application that you use itself uses DBISAM and is leaving this file around for whatever reason.

Maybe so but it only appears when I am using URp & I cannot delete it until I close URp because of a "sharing violation". So......... ?????

Perhaps some document type that you are viewing internally in UR is hosted within UR by some application that creates this .lck file.

If you exit UR via File | Exit, then open one of the samples (double-click on C:\Program Files\UltraRecall\Samples\Intro.urd in Explorer, for instance), does the .lck file get created?

I think what you describe is what's happening. I just have to identify what it is to solve the mystery. What's interesting to me is that (a) that it is created but also (b) that UR is holding on to it somehow even if no browser windows are visible.

The answer to your questioin, however, is "no" But by the same token if I open my working URD file, this file does not appear automatically. I think it occurs, as you suggest, when I'm browsing something.
