Don't know if this is correct forum. Please advise if not.

I have a program used by a number of people. I store the program .exe on the LAN and have them point a shortcut to it. Works well except when I need to update the file. If I try to move the new version into the directory when someone has the file in use, I get "directory full" message and then have to have it restored.

Is there a way to determine if someone has a file open? I'm using VB 2008.

TIA
