How about opening it with notepad from within the delphi program? I presume this is for the user of the program, not some internal requirement to process the file? Dave

To: [email protected] Date: Monday, August 11, 2008, 8:01 AM I have some log files that I want to monitor in real-time. The files can be opened by Notepad but I have not been able to open them it a delphi program. The error says the file is being used by another process. I have tried opening the file with TFileStream with fmOpenRead, fmShareDenyNone. What do I need to do to read a file that is currently being written by another process? I know it can be done because Notepad can do it. Thanks, Doug [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
