Is there a way to determine whether a file in a different directory is open or not?

Thank you

Harvey

Do you mean : a file opened by someone else ?

In that case, try to open it exclusively. If you can't, the file is opened by someone else.

Harvey,

I don`t know, if You mean a Program ( same ), started / installed from different Directorys ?

there is a brandnew Tool, calls Processexplorer that shows everything You need.
You can kill a running process and much more :
Download : http://blogs.technet.com/b/sysinternals/

Sample :
Background.exe is started twice from different directorys : T_WIN and T_WIN_T

Best Regards

A user is in directory 1 wants to use a DBF file in directory 2.
How can I find out if its already open in directory 2 and keep out the directory 1 user who wants to use it.?

Thank you

Harvey,

as Michel said, you can try to open the dbf exclusive

Code (fw): Select all Collapse

TRY
  OPEN (cDbf) EXCLUSIVE
CATCH
  ? "Dbf already opened"
END

kind regards

Stefan
