Does anyone know of a way to see who has a specific file open. Its driving me mad !!!
 
On the PC where the file is located, run the Server service from control panel. Click the 'In Use' button to show what files are in use. <br>

Option 1<br>
From any station, when logged in to the domain as an administrator, run the old Windows File Manager (winfile.exe). Map a drive if necessary and navigate to the file. Click once to highlight the file then click <b>File&gt;Properties&gt;Open By</b> to see who has it open. (you may see yourself as one of the opens.)<br>

Option 2<br>
See Tip #136 on <A HREF=" TARGET="_new"> for the use of a freeware utility called 'ofl' that can list all open files and who has them open. <p> Jeff<br><a href=mailto: masterracker@hotmail.com> masterracker@hotmail.com</a><br><a href= > </a><br> Of all the things I've lost in life, I miss my mind the most ...
