Abstract: Motivated by work of C. U. Jensen, R.-O. Buchweitz, and H. Flenner, we prove the following result. Let $ R$ be a commutative noetherian ring and $ \mathfrak{a}$ an ideal in the Jacobson radical of $ R$. Let $ \widehat{\mathfrak{Ra}}$ be the $ \mathfrak{a}$-adic completion of $ R$. If $ M$ is a finitely generated $ R$-module such that $ \operatorname{Ext}^i_R(\,M)=0$ for all $ i\neq 0$, then $ M$ is $ \mathfrak{a}$-adically complete.
