[thelist] ditching the .ldb on remote server

Obvious answer needed please:
Is it "safe" to just delete, an .ldb file to copy over an Access database
when no-one will be writing to the db. Or is there a way to force the .ldb
to close, since it seems to be staying open all day today (though not
yesterday)? It's within a shared hosting environment, and if something goes
wrong the host in question is not famous for answering the phone when a fix
is needed.

I've had bad luck in the past in just copying over the database. I'm not
afraid of losing data, but of blowing the DSN link, or anything else that
might get weird on me.

thanks,
matt
