How to remove share violation when excel application ends abnormally

[KG]

Hello All,
I am using an excel Application which accesses data
from MS Access database during its execution. Whenever the application
ends abnormally it does not remove the lock on the Access file. As a
result of this I am not able to replace the file or do modifications to
edit its data because of the share violation.. Is there anyway I could
remove this lock without rebooting?.

Regards,
Saravanan.

Is there possibly a process in Task Manager that you could kill?

Killing the MS Access Process works!. Thanks.
