Is it possible somehow to see which user (file lock) has opened the file and returning that value to a variable? I'm using now the {IsFileFree(c:\autoexec.bat)} method. It returns a true or false but for the error handling, I would like to include who is the one to blame

Check who has file open
Hey Oleg,
Is it possible somehow to see which user (file lock) has opened the file and returning that value to a variable? I'm using now the {IsFileFree(c:\autoexec.bat)} method. It returns a true or false but for the error handling, I would like to include who is the one to blame

Re: Check who has file open
Agree.
And additionally, the ability to unlock the file (close the file, or kill the process, etc.): https://robotask.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=2751

Re: Check who has file open
Good morning,
I would like to make this topic current again.
I have to update an excel file every day but if someone has already opend it the update fails.
It would be great if I could identify the person who has opened the file to inform them that the update has failed because the file is still open.

When feeding data into a spreadsheet, I take a different approach. First, I create a data source, which can be a TXT, CSV, or even an Excel file. The target spreadsheet retrieves the data using Power Query, making the process efficient and streamlined.
