I have an application that print generates a pdf file. I like to start to work with this file (using ghostscript) but sometimes i get an exception in gs32.dll that seems to be caused by the fact that the pdf file sin not finnished (or it can't access it since my app still holds it)
Is there someway to check if a file is locked or currently used by another process or something?

Hi,
Perhaps the following is actually the same as already pointed by ciuly but that's what I use:
uses SysUtils;
function IsFileOpened(const Filename: string): boolean;
var
FileHandle : Integer;
begin
result := false;
if FileExists(FileName) then begin
FileHandle := FileOpen(FileName, fmShareExclusive);
if FileHandle > 0 then
FileClose(FileHandle)
else
result := true;
end;
end;
Regards, Geo
