file attributes

[lilgirl]

How do I check if a file is currently already open for read or write?

To see if a file has a readonly attribute use the FileInfo class and its Attributes property:

  Dim f As New IO.FileInfo("path to the file")
  If (f.Attributes And IO.FileAttributes.ReadOnly) = IO.FileAttributes.ReadOnly Then
      MessageBox.Show("Read only.")
  End If

i think lilgirl wanted to know how to know when a file is opened or locked by another application
