Detect files in use by users on network

[djr]

Does anybody know kow I can retrieve a list of all usernames/computernames from an NT Server that have a particular file open.

I am looking for the same thing. If you come up with a solution please let me know. If I find something that works I will send it your way. I would be satisfied if it just told me that the file was in use but returning the USERNAME of the person who has it in use would be even better. Thanks.

I have not done this in particular, but would the fso (File System Object) not be able to give you that information ?

...just a thought

I once wrote a program just for this. You need admin rights though. I will attach the project. If you put a shortcut to the exe in your Sendto directory, you can start is easily from explorer by right clicking on a file, and send it to this application. I have added some functionality to send a network message to the users.

Thanks Frans, I will give this a go.
