Hi

I have a requirement where I need to read the contents of a file. However, the file is opened in a another long running process. Using SPF/PC I can read the file without any problem but VB.Net is throwing an exception saying the file is currently open. I suspect that the long running program has the file open for write but I would like to be able to read the file while the other program has it open.

If SPF/PC can do it then I assume it can be done I just don't see how it can be with VB.NET. Any ideas?

It is OK. I have got it running now. I simply did a filecopy and used the copy.
