Ur using NTFS right? U can create a second hard link to the file and then open the link. When ur done, unlink it. There should be no clash of filehandles or names. The server process can do anything it likes to the original name link without messing up ur link. -- REMEMBER THE WORLD TRADE CENTER ---=< WTC 911 >=-- "...ne cede malis" 00000100 _______________________________________________ Perl-Win32-Users mailing list Perl-Win32-Users@listserv.ActiveState.com To unsubscribe: http://listserv.ActiveState.com/mailman/mysubs
