Can vb.net check if an excel file is already open by another user on a network drive?

7 New Member
Hello there. I'm trying to write a program that will insert data into an excel sheet every time it is excecuted.
This file is stored on a network drive.
How can VB.net check if the file is open by another user before I execute the code?

I want the webcontrol to open the spreadsheet using my log on credentials since they won't have priviliges to access their particular file from the network drive. BTW, I am guessing I will have to use HTTP as this file exists in a Sharepoint document library. I can...

For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
