Default Check who's using a file

Hello.
I have a routine that checks if a group of files are being
used by other users in write mode.
Is it possible to get the Microsoft Excel Username, or the
network login of that user?

Open the file readonly and check the WriteReservedBy property.

I have heard some say this doesn't work, but it worked for me in light
testing.
