Hi

  1. How can I check whether a file is being used ?

  2. How can I check whether an index file is being used.

Try opening the dbf in exclusive mode.
If you succeed it is not in use by others and if you fail it is being used by others.

I think I saw somewhere I can check whether a file is being used without opening it in exclusive mode.
