Hi. I'm working on a project that modifies a data file used by another program. I always get "file in use" or "sharing error" whenever I try to write to the file. I imagine this is because the other program has locked the file... is there any way to "un-lock" the file and make it available to my program for modifying it?

I don't know if it is possible, but I would like it if it could be. I am not interested in using code that will terminate the other program.
