"Santy Concepción"
Hi!

Is it necessary to close every table, database and session when closing the
application? or does DBISAM close them automatically when exiting the app?

With Paradox, LCK files are deleted when the application closes, but with
DBISAM, the "dbisam.LCK" file always exists, even with the app closed.
Is this normal? Will I have any problem if the file is always created?

Thanks!

Santy,

Assuming you are writing your program in Delphi, with the tables created on a datamodule
the application will close the tables on exit.

This doesn't necessarily mean that changes to current records will be posted ...

The LCK file *should* exist after the application closes, this is not a problem.

Just leave it alone and you'll be fine. Smiley
