Use Try/Catch.

Hi,
I am not using the filestream to open the file, i am using visio's object to
open the file. Do u think the try/catch would be the only resolution to check
if the file is already opened?
If File.Exists(fil ename) Then
visioApp = CreateObject("v isio.applicatio n")
visioDocs = visioApp.Docume nts
visioDoc = visioDocs.OpenE x(filename, 32)
end if
thanks

Hi jes,
There are other ways to see if the file is already opened, but none of them
are pretty. This is one case where catching an exception is a good idea.
You can read more about the way to do this here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...Exceptions.asp http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...exceptions.asp

2 means file exists and it si open

The only examples I have seen on how to check if a file is locked is to
try to open it a catch an exception.
MS has stated that you should never use error trapping in this manner.
Is there no other way to identify if a file is locked w/o trapping an
exception?

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.
