Is there a way to see if a file is in use?Hi,
I use the following: FileOpen(taskmgrfile, "C:\trend.csv", OpenMode.Random, OpenAccess.Read, OpenShare.LockRead) to open a file, but it returns err.number 75 "The process cannot access the file "C:\trend.csv" because it is being used by another process." Is there a way to check if the file is in use before I try to open it? thanks in advance! Why not put your FileOpen in a Try/Catch block and trap that particular
error? is there a more positive way?

would probably determine if the file is already open by doing the same thing, ie, try doing a FileOpen in a Try/Catch and catch the already open exception. >> is there a more positive way? What the heck does that mean?Are there self-esteem issues with try/catch?

Didn't you know that constantly trying and failing is one of the main causes of low self-esteem?
