I have an application that creates a temporal access database. I'd like to erase the database from the application, 
but it seems to be locked, so I can't. At last, the temporal database must be erased when the application closes, but
I get the same error. 

I use BCBuilder 5, with ADOExpress. 

For erasing the file I use the instruction 
   DeleteFile(Path);

Thanks in advance

All connections to the MDB file must be closed before this can succeed.  I
am not positive about ADO,  but I know that ODBC can do some "caching" of
connections,  keeping the MDB file open for a short time longer than
expected as the ODBC driver is expecting more connections soon...
