I folks

How to verify if a txt file is still open?

Thanks for your help

To do so I just use the CLOSE statement, thus closing all files.

Ok, but i don't want to close file


Here an exemple of what i'm looking for

ex.: if close(filenumber) then "do this" else "Do that"

If you attempt to open a file that is already open VB will return runtime error #55 ... you could create code that traps this error, and then moves you onto your desired processes in your error handling.
