For example "H:\log.txt" "dmoney" wrote: here is one way Dim x As String x = Excel.Workbooks("book1").ReadOnly = True If x = "True" Then MsgBox "File is Read Only" Else MsgBox "File is available for editing" End If "LeeL" wrote: Is there a way to check if file is available for editing ? -- Thanks & Best Regards |

The code assumes that the text file was opened through excel.

this may better suit your needs - adjust the path and filename either
manually of with a variable and the code will tell u if the file is avialable for editing and the file type does not matter Sub tst() Dim myfilename As String myfilename = "C:\Documents and Settings\1006646\Desktop\26022h.txt" x = GetAttr(myfilename) And vbReadOnly If x = 1 Then MsgBox "file is read only'" Else: MsgBox "file is avialable for edit" End If End Sub "LeeL" wrote: Thanks, just one quick question, how to form the x stament for a text file ?
