Repost - sorry ...

Chris

Chaps - I thoroughly appreciate your help. I've restarted the service (not the agent this time (Doh!) and its cleared the space issues. I cant beleive how stupid...

Ah crap (novice-ness striekd again) thanks Oiiii, so I'll find that service under the normal server services will I? I can bring down the server quite easiy if it...

Thanks for the info again - unfortunately a I'd already carried out a restart of the SQL service (SQL Server agent?) and it didnt shrink the DB.

Craig,

Thanks for the advice and for keeping it simple.

Is it safe to carry out a shrink on the tempdb? and would simply stopping our application service on the server...
