Hello,

I currently use the readonly property of the workbook to determine that the
workbook is already opened by another user. But how do I know who that other
user is? The writereservedby is empty, so I know that won't help. Any ideas?

Thanks, Dean.

That is it as far as built in capabilities.

I know Excel can tell you who has a workbook open when is prompts fotr Read
Only, Notify or Cancel. So I was hoping to use the same function. Do you
think this might work by doing some coding with the File System Object (FSO)?

No. I doubt it. I think you would have to go to the API if it is available
there and you have access to that information.
