Access Database Copying Itself!

Sunday June 29, 2008
In a recent forum posting, Beth wrote:

"I have a Access database loaded on a company shared folder and when my end user closes the database a new one is created in that same folder. It is re-named to "database1." The next time the user opens and then closes the original database it makes another copy named "database2", and so on. I might have 15 copies of the database by the end of a regualar work day.

Can anyone help me with this?"
