How does one know if a file is ALREADY in USE by
some application BEFORE any actual attempt to open
or access that file?

My Builder application seems to be acting very irratically because its
trying to access a file which is already opened by another application
-- so I need to be able to detect that....

would there be a    try...catch   for fopen or FileOpen for such
issues?

THANKS!
