 VB5 - Access 97 - SqlServer 6.5 - non-disappearing tmp file

I am updating tables in an SQLServer 6.5 database via linked tables in
an Access 97 database by ODBC from within VB 5.0. My problem is that
under heavy use the JETnnn.tmp temporary file grows to huge proportions
(100Mb+) and does not disappear on transaction commit or database close.
It finally goes on closure of the application.

Is this a known problem and is there a workaround? My only idea is to
spawn each heavy transaction (1000+ updates) as as separate self closing
application but this seems to be a very wasteful way of doing it.

David Early.

Try resetting the database engine with Set DBEngine = Nothing.
This might accomplish the same thing without having to close
your app.
