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?
