Anything that ends with .mdb belongs to MS Access and is a database file.

The IDMB is a massive database that deals with tracking movie information.

The ldb file signifies the database was opened at one point, and if not open now, was not cleanly closed.

You should be able to safely delete both of those files if you do not use the database.

Delete the .ldb file and then the .mdb file.

Your best bet would be to repair your office installation in Vista. Regards -- Joe (Access VBA Examples)

see if the LDB file still exist and delete it...

Whenever you open an Access database, a file with the same name as the database and an extension of LDB will be opened automatically. For example if you open Northwind.mdb in the samples directory of your Access/Office installation, a file called Northwind.ldb will be generated. This new file keeps track of users and the objects that require some form of locking in the database. When all users have exited gracefully from the database, the LDB file is closed down and deleted.
