Accessing Files Run time Error

[ndr01]

I have a procedure that opens a file when it is copied into a directory.

Occasionally is the process tries to open the file before the file copy has finished I get Run Time Error, Permission denied.

Could anyone help he with how to trap and work around this??

Thanks in advance

theres's probably a cleaner way, but you could just put a
do loop around your open statment

one error resume next
do 
 open.....
 doevents
loop until err.nuumber <> 75'or whatever  error number you were getting
