We use Windows Small Bussiness Server 2003 and Netexpress 5.1.   The FILESHARE works perfect as described in the documentation. If a file/record is locked I receive the file Status 9/65 or 9/68 indicating this Situation.  But besides this Status, is there any way or API to know Information about who has the lock?  I Need the Name of the terminal or user in order to inform who is locking the file or record.

Under Unix there is a wholock command that can tell you this but under Windows I do not know of an equivalent.

You might look at using the fsview utility in order to see which users currently have the file open in fileshare.

No, it was not possible for us to let  FILESHARE.  Any demo?

We tryed with the command

openfiles /query /V /s servidor >archivo.txt

If it works, we get a file that we can Analyse.

But this command works only if the user is an Administrator, otherwise he receives an error.

Making a BAT it is the same the user must be an administrator

Including the Contents of the BAT in a NETEXPRESS program

002841     STRING "OPENFILES /query /v /s servidor >OCUPADO.txt"

002844         x"00" DELIMITED BY SIZE

002845         INTO CmdLine,

002852    call winapi "WinExec"

002853        using by reference CmdLine

002854              by value     CmdShow

002855        returning          CmdStatus.

it works only with WINDOW Vista an beeing an Administrator.

Is it possible to chage the attributes to Administrator only within a NETEXPRESS program?

Can I detect if I am working with 32 or 64 Bits from within the program and run different commands depending on the result?
