Forums Bug Reports /comclose doesn't free up the com object file.

I believe your problem is related to what I've encountered. This VBScript creates an Access 97 MDB file

• Set a = CreateObject("ADOX.Catalog")
  a.Create "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=test.mdb;Jet OLEDB:Engine Type=4;"
  Set a = Nothing

The "Create" method makes a locked "test.mdb" file, that becomes unlocked once the object is released. After the code runs, you can do whatever you want with the newely created "test.mdb".

I "converted" this code to a mIRC script...

• .comopen a ADOX.Catalog
  !.echo -q $com(a,Create,3,bstr,Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=test.mdb;Jet OLEDB:Engine Type=4;)
  .comclose a

and surprisingly, "test.mdb" is still locked after the script finishes, and can't be removed until mIRC is restarted.

Maybe /comclose is broken.
