File already in use


I am trying to unzip files zipped with inzip9 and after that to open a
database Survey.
I get the message Couldnt use file "C:BE\surve y. File already in use".
and the
database is not opened.I ca open the database if i run only the
SgellExecute line.
But i wan tto run the three lines together.How can i avoid this
sticking of the
function?

Shell """C:\Progr am Files\WinZip\WZ Unzip.exe"" -o
C:\BE\Depots\Su rvey.zip C:\BE"
Shell """C:\Progr am Files\WinZip\WZ Unzip.exe"" -o
C:\BE\Depots\De potSo.zip C:\BE"

ShellExecute Application.hWn dAccessApp, "Open", "C:\BE\Survey.m db", 0,
0, SW_SHOWMAXIMIZE D
N.B. :

I have tried without success to insert between he two parts the
following code:
Do While Dir("C:\BE\Surv ey.mdb") = ""
DoEvents
Loop

It has been suggested that rather than convert an already large flat file, with many similar rows, to XML, some type of header be attached to the file, containing some sort of meta-XML description of the rows that follow. The hope is that the result will not grow as large as a pure XML file, but still be easy to exchange. Multiple vendors would still be able to track format changes easily. The size of the flat file, without XML, is already...

hi, I'm working on a project spanning five .cpp files. each file was used to define a class. the first has my Main and an #include for each of the other files. problem is my third file needs to access the class defined in my second file and I can't figure out how to work this right. if I use an #include in my third file, my Main gives me a compile-time class redefinition error. if I don't, the third file can't "see" the second

After closing the streamwriter and setting it to Nothing, I try to delete the file it was writing to, but I always get the following error message: "The process cannot access the file "whatever" because it is being used by another process." I've even tried opening another file using the same streamwriter object before deleting the original file, but it's no use. Something keeps...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
