Hi

is there a possibility to detect whether a file is already in use by another user?

You can pipe out the NET FILE and parse it.

You can pipe out the NET FILE and parse it.

if it's a file that is locked when in use by another user, then it should generate an @error if you try to FileOpen() it.

Sorry I don't understand. What Net File do you mean?

Can you explain please?

Try this one

Dim $Result, $output=''
$Result=Run(@ComSpec &' /c net file', "", @SW_HIDE, $STDERR_CHILD + $STDOUT_CHILD)
While 1
    $line = StdoutRead($Result)
    If @error = -1 Then ExitLoop
    $output = $output & @CR & $line
Wend
While 1
    $line = StderrRead($Result)
    If @error = -1 Then ExitLoop
    $output = $output & @CR & $line
Wend
MsgBox (0, 'Net file' , $ouput )

Did some debuging on the code above use this

#include <Constants.au3>
Local $Result, $output=''
$Result=Run(@ComSpec &' /c net file', "", @SW_HIDE, $STDERR_CHILD + $STDOUT_CHILD)
While 1
    $line = StdoutRead($Result)
    If @error = -1 Then ExitLoop
    $output = $output & @CR & $line
Wend
While 1
    $line = StderrRead($Result)
    If @error = -1 Then ExitLoop
    $output = $output & @CR & $line
Wend
MsgBox (0, 'Net file' , $output )
