Default How to forcely remove or overwrite an open excel file

Hi,

We gather data form various excel files accross our network and combine
them. However, we can't proceed if a user left a file open as it generates an
error. We can't ignore such file so is there any way to get the file copied
to a different location then close the original and replace it with a copy?
Every time we try to do this we get Access denied error if the file is open.

Your help would be highly appreciated.

Peter
