My NT admins are great for doing things and not telling me. Monday they changed a system password that a mail routing server uses. After a day and a half of trying to figure out what was wrong with the mail router one of the admins finally says, "Oh yea, I changed the password". I simply change the lgin password for the mail router and everything works fine. About all I can say about the NT admin is "dumbass".

Hi Lisa

Just check that the files owner is who you think it should be and check the permissions.
A great thing NT Admins are god for is changing permissions in a directory at teh top of a tree and propagating it down with teh include subdirectories checkbox.

the OS error Access denied says either you don't have permissions on the file or another process is holding a file lock on it. A reboot of teh server should clear that if you cant resolve it by other means

Oh and you are right Oracle holds exclusive locks on the files at the OS level and as such if you try and move or delete them it won't happen

Cheers

I thought you couldn't delete a database file in Windows when the database
is up?  I have tried and tried to no avail. 

Maybe this is a nice 'feature' but it doesn't leave much room for testing
