RE: [DUG]: Check if file is locked?

Had a look after you posted last week, but couldn't find much, I'm afraid.   Will the OS not prevent you from renaming if files are open/locked?  If so, why not just try the rename and catch any exceptions?   Cheers,   Conor -----Original Message----- From: Jason Coley [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, 18 November 2002 11:50 a.m. To: Multiple recipients of list delphi Subject: [DUG]: Check if file is locked? Hi all,   I am trying to write some code that will rename a folder, but I need to know whether I can, ie no files are open or locked by another process, user etc. So I need to know the quickest and easiest method for finding out whether its OK or not to rename the folder.   Does anyone have any suggestions?   Jason
