Hello,

Thanks for your post. As I understand, you want to know whether a file is
being opened in a programmatic way. Please correct me if there is any
misunderstandin g.

You can use WMI to query if a file is opened in a process. Please refer to
the following sample code in another similar thread:

In addition, it would be best to post WMI questions in the following
newsgroup:
Microsoft.publi c.win32.program mer.wmi

Does this anwer your question?

Create a lock file that will let you know whether your application has the
file open. So everytime you get ready to load the file check first if a
..lck file exists before opening.

Hi,

Thanks for your response.

If you want to know whether or not a file is opened in local application,
you can check the file handle, or use a boolean variable to flag the use of
file, or create a lock file as suggested by Bryan.

If you want to check a file beeing used in another process, I recommend you
use WMI as described in my previous reply.

Please feel free to let me know if you have any problems or concerns.
