Not sure but they might save a backup copy that is maintained by windows. As
this version is not live it should work...
Unless writing a backup software, my personal preference is to delegate this
to a backup software rather than to add backup capabilities into a non
backup related application...
Sorry for the poor help...

Sorry, yes, I'm referring to the exclusive lock such as the windows
registry.
Yes I've tried it with VB6/FSO and with VB.NET. I don't have the code
infront of me to see the error message but it indicates that it can't copy
the file because it's open.
I'm guessing that there is some way to do this because backup software is
able to do it.

It's just no different than usual (ie. you can copy if you have the
appropriate rights, if the file is not exclusively lock etc...).
Have you tried your scenario ? What is the problem you have (error
message) ?
