Questions:

Problem:
Accountng.dat file growing (logons et.) causing image backup to take a very very long time to finish.

When I tried to delete it I get a message  "File locked by another user".

How do I stop the Accounting program to allow me to delete the file.

How is the typical maintenance on this file performed.

Thanks
