Thanks to everyone who have been so helpful as I recently began posting questions here at this forum. The time you've taken to offer your input on my questions is very much appreciated.
Things are progressing along pretty well as I learn my way around VB/.NET.
My current quandry, however, deals with busy files.
I am copying a file from a server to a local directory to my PC. I need to act on that copy of the file, but I currently have no way of knowing whether or not that file copy has completed before I try and rename the local file.
I've been rooting around in the various file info properties, but have yet to find a way of testing the busy status of a file.
Can someone offer a suggestion?
If it was just a matter of getting a file.busy status attribute to the file, this would be easily accomplished with a do/while loop until the test came back as "not busy". But this goal doesn't seem to be as easily achieved as I thought it might be.
Thanks in advance.
