I took a shot at using NET FILE to remove the lock on files, however it is way more coding then I anticipated. One of the problems is that NET FILE does not support remote functions, so I have to schedule a job to run on the server that I want to close the file on (through AT), and then I get the file off the server (the server is our main file server so it can output the display to itself which works around any network issues with the scheduler). However, the main impediment to this is that the NET FILE command only gives 40 characters worth of data for the files so it makes matching the line from the file with the one in the listview a real pain [Mad] For now I'll leave it without the functionality that would really make it useful.
