    Question Find user id for a locked file.

    I'm looking for a method of finding the network user id of a person who has a file locked.

    Finding if the file is locked is simple enough. But I can't seem to tell who has it locked.

    The files are on a Windows NT server and the workstations for the most part are Win98/2000.

    Any ideas?

    Use something like Net Watch or Server Manager from the NT/2000 Resource Kits.

    No can do.

    While that would be easy to do. I need to incorperate it into a utility I'm writing.

    There must be an api call or something to tell what user has a file locked or open...

    It would be NetShareEnum then NetConnectionEnum, but I don't have VB code on how to use them.
