I have a client who uploads an excel spreadsheet daily (FTP), which is her 
datasource to her CFMX website.

Unfortunately, the file gets uploaded then locks up so that she cannot upload 
the next day, nor can the file be deleted w/o contacting technical support to 
delete (Windows servers). I suspect the client is attempting to upload while 
she has the spreadsheet OPEN, which is turns hozes up the files permissions and 
locks.

Is there a way to 1) Check to see if the file is open or in use or 2) require 
the file to be closed before she uploads. Can this be done in CF?

Suggestions, comments, ideas... All are most welcome. I am considering either 
writing a script that performs the uploads for her or writing a script that 
will suck her excel spreadsheet into a MySQL database (ugh). If we can keep it 
simple though, and just get a good, consistent upload of the xls file, that 
would be ideal.

Tx, DG
