Hello all,
I have been tasked with finding out who has a file locked. Sounds relatively simple, but there are many interesting variables involved.
So far, we are using a dBASE 5 for DOS program that is definitely legacy. There are functions within dBASE that need to lock a file exclusive. Which means that only the user within the dBASE environment that has the file locked can use it.
What I was wondering, is if VBScript is able to read that file that is locked by dBASE. The locked file has information on which workstation locked the file and that is what I am trying to access.
Thanks,
Matt
