I am trying to move files from a directory to another but i have sometimes an error because files i want to move

can be used by another application or not complet due to recording, how can i detect this type of status before attempting to move ?

Hi tinnitus,

i think you can try to open it with read and write access. If you get an error it is already opend by another application.

I've seen this under Vista, and the only way to enable moving them was to
close and restart LabVIEW.

No solution though. Are you using Vista?

Hi Tinnitus,

You can note down the error code you receive when you try to move the file which is already in use.

Then modify your code to include error handling. Since you know the error code, you can compare the error code in your error cluster to check if the file you are trying to move is already in use by another application.
