Default Check if a workbook is open on a network.

Dear all;

I need to check if someone on the network is using a workbook called "BRS".
How do I do that ?

I have this function (by Andy Pope), but can't get it to work.
'-----------------------------------------------------------------
Function IsNetworkFileOpen(Filename As String)
'-----------------------------------------------------------------
Dim nFile As Long

IsNetworkFileOpen = False

nFile = FreeFile()
On Error Resume Next
Open Filename For Input Lock Read Write As #nFile
If Err < 0 Then
If Err.Number = 70 Then
IsNetworkFileOpen = True
Else
IsNetworkFileOpen = "No such file"
End If
End If
On Error GoTo 0
Close #nFile

End Function
'-----------------------------------------------------------------

Were does Workbooks("BRS.xls") comes into play ?


Many thanks beforehand.
