I have SQL 6.5 running NT. 4.0. I just stepped into this company, and they have several leftover databases (.dat files). I wanted to narrow down the ones that people are using every day, but when I ran a "find" and checked the dates modified, none of the databases looked as if it had been touched for months. Yet, I have people down the hall umping data into at least one of them. How can I identify which database is being opened, and why would it not show up on the "find" explore? Also, one of the key databases is using an ODBC dsn file - how do I identify which .dat file this odbc link is linking too?

Thanks
