Hi Jarek, unlocking a locked file is not supported by any operating system. When an application locks a file for access (ie. write) it protects itself from modifications made by other applications. The OS guarantees, that this will work as assumed. If you need to open a file which is opened by another app. try to open it as read-only and/or use an appropiate share-mode (deny none). Have a look into delphi's help for "FileOpen". Have fun Bob
