Thanks for your assistance >How does microsoft word understand that a document being edited by other user. >Can i find document's editor (user who opens document with write access) >programatically. > >Thanks for your assistance When a user opens a document in Word, it creates another file in the same folder, with the same name as the document but with the first two characters replaced by "~$". This is called the "owner file". Among other things, it contains the login name of the user who opened the document, as a string starting in the second byte. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org |
