    who has file in use

    How can one programmtically determine what process or user is using a particular file? I want my program to replace and/or delete some files that are in use when they should not be in use.
    Sincerely,
    - Ron

    You are welcome.
    Unfortunately, I can't take the credit - I did not write that tool...
