 |
|
I would like to know if a file could be detected that it was open or closed.
I am using a text file as a database file in VDS 5. If the file is already open, it needs to block anybody else from opening it until the user has finished and closed the file. Thanks Garry Harriman |

| Garry please post topics in a seperate thread when they are not within the same topic subject as the original post. But in regards to your post take a look at thread: http://forum.vdsworld.com/viewtopic.php?t=2484 and in particular to Mac's post in regards to VDSUG - it will allow you to 'lock' the file so others cannot access it in anyway while the file is opened in read/write mode. |
