I have a database set up with records including telephone numbers. When the dial button is pressed, the modem dials the number and logs the call in a text file.
I've linked the text file with a table in the database so I can display the logged call history for each record in a subform. Unfortunately, since the subform is open and embedded, the dialer can't log the call because the active subform is directly linked to the text file, therefore locking the file.
Is there anyway to unlock or share the file? Or perhaps close the embedded subform automatically before dialing and auto reopen it after the call's ended?
Any help would be appreciated
