I have a situation where my application is trying to access a file, that

The error I get is

The process cannot access the file 'C:\picks\test50k.gp1' because it is
being used by another process.


What code did you use to try to open the file? Did you specify a
sharing mode? If the other program has not opened the file
exclusively then you should be able to open the file at the same
time. Do you intend to modify the file? Or just read it? Some more
details would make it easier to help you.
