Hi,
I tried this but it doesn't work, RunRev doesn't return an error. I
then used the external module that I wrote to get around the 2 GB
File Size Limit and that works *if* I open it with permissions set to
"fsRdDenyPerm".
All the Best

Hi,
The file size *may* work but as you say it's not very robust. One
thing I have noticed is that if you start to copy a big file (like
a .mov) and then before it's complete, double-click it so that
QuickTime Player is launched then you get a message saying the
file is being used by Mac OS X. If there was a way to perform the
same check that would probably do the trick.
I think the OS sets the file flag as "busy" during a write (at
least on Macs, and I assume on Windows too.) So all you should need
to do is try opening the file and then check the result. If it's
busy, you'll get the appropriate error. Keep trying until the file
opens.
You need to use the form "open file" rather than the URL syntax:
open file <filepath>
get the result
if it is empty then
-- whatever you need to do here
end if
Put that in a repeat loop or a repeating pending message that exits
if the result is empty, or times out after a specified amount of time.
