Opening file as read-only

[alexerm]

Hi,

I'm trying to read from text file that is currently being used by other application (more precisely I'm trying to open current IIS log file).

I get EInOutError 32 (sharing violation). I tried to use "FileMode := fmOpenRead;" to open file in read-only mode, but it does not help!

Weird part is that "NotePad" can open that file without any problems! So there must be a way to do it. Anybody knows how to do it in Delphi?

Thanks

just "or" your fmopenread constant with fmShareDenyNone.
