Ed, I'm at SP6 here, and I still see quite a delay before the files are released after exiting an app. Is their a registry setting or ? that controls when these files are released? I just walked over to a client machine, verified the application was shut down, yet Server Manager still should the client holding several tables open. Any ideas?
