Re: vb application locks file

I have resolved the 'input past end of file' error, thanks for the help
on that one. I basically did as you (Randy Birch) suggested and checked
that the file had something to read before reading it!!!

This has strangely reduced the crashing to a minimum, yet this error
occurred very infrequently (according to my log file) and wasn't always
the culprit of the app.'s failure.

I would still like to know if there is a way to force a specific file
to close?

We are about to re-write the system and I will use a copied file
solution and see if this will be more robust. We are also going to run
it on a new PC - this may have been the cause all along!

Thanks again for all you help.
