Greetings, Hum. this seems tricky because it sounds like the script would need to "know" somehow about the external process needing the file and then execute d.Close to release the file.
So my questions would be: Is there a way to predict when the other process would need the file? Is there a way perhaps for the script to "know" that this is about to occur? Maybe this could be as simple as altering the scheduler timing? What's the situation here? Regards, Thom Thom C.
