Are you doing compact and repairs?

[accesshelpreq]

yes it will compact before closing the database

That is why you are getting those files.

Assuming you have compact code running, just do a file delete afterwards to get rid of the db1 that will be created when you compact.

Will try deleting the file.

thanks very much.
