Even if you can't explicitly lock a file during a CFFILE operation... If CF uses system-level function calls to read and write files (that must be why it's capable of being locked out of a file when another application has it locked), then you would think that during a CF file write operation, the OS must place a lock on the file. Or no?
The reason I brought up the point in the first place is that I need to read and write a large number of small text files that are in use by another, very busy service. I'm hoping that by doing so, I wouldn't be causing problems for that application, or for CF itself.
