Relevance of LDB files in MS Acc

The shared access database is more prone to corruption as compared to the standalone one. The reason could be simultaneous editing or problematic involved computer system. If you are facing frequent database corruption then there can be only one system that might be raising the database corruption issues due to inappropriate application or hardware.

The database corruption is curable through access repair but the detection of the wicked system is mandatory to avoid the future cases. For this purpose LDB file helps. This file has the function to mange the lock information about the database and along with of each user who opens the shared database i.e. the name of the computers who are currently accessing the database in the multi-user environment.

Each time when the database is first opened, a file with the extension .ldb is created with the same name as that of the database. This file gets deleted as soon as the last user closes the database. But when the database is marked as corrupted, it does not get deleted, retaining the information about the user who was using the database at the time database was marked as corrupted.

The information fed in the LDB file is used by MS Access to tell which records are locked in the database and who is responsible for this so that further database corruption can be avoided by taking the appropriate measure.

This file can’t be read or opened directly but instead a DLL file, called Msldbusr.dll, is used to read it. Thus you can detect the faulty system and run the according cure.

However for the database which has got corrupted, Access Repair is the remedy applicable through access recovery software. No matter what has been the reason or under which circumstances the database corruption has taken place, access recovery software do a tremendous job for all the objects of MS Access.
