Who has file open in Netware

Hi,

I need to know who as a particular file open. The file is on a Netware
server and it's possible that several users have the file open at the same
time (not exclusively of course).

Gplib used to be great for this but AFAICS there is no version of gplib for
VFP.

Any ideas how to do this?

Thanks,

Frank

Hi,

I did post the question at novell.support.netware.small-business.6x
but I don't know if that's the appropriate forum or if I'll get a hit.

I think my best bet is still with this forum since I'm more likely to find
VFP/Netware users here.

Thanks,

Frank

You can use the netware API.

Are you using Novell's Netware client? Could it be communicated with
OLE, COM or ActiveX?

I remembered back in Netware 3.x days, a console tool (fconsole? can't
remember...) could display who is opening what files.

Hi Frank:

Can you use Filemon from www.sysinternals.com?


I hope this helps.

I don't know how to do this via an API, but we had a desktop utility you
could try googling for called WhoHasIt. It was perfect for doing this, but
I think you may have had to have system admin priviledges to use it.

We're converting to Windows servers, so I have the same question for Windows
admins out there?

Thanks.

Chip
