Two points.
  1. Please don't simply set an assignment to be completed.
    To ask a question you should always show what you've got so far and where you've struggled.
  2. I think you will need to look at O/S facilities for this.
    This is not something available as standard.

    It may be possible to find a list of files and determine if there are any outstanding locks by attempting to open them each exclusively, but I doubt this will suit your needs. It's a bit of a kludge.
I suggest you ask in Windows if there's an appropriate API (and possibly some assistance in linking in and using whichever API libraries are required from VBA.
