If you are using NTFS then you can set permissions on the file which will deny access. Otherwise you have to open the file exclusively as suggested.

Access denies access to this file because the file is open for io operations.<br />
Opening any other file will do the same.<br />
So I have the correct answer.<br />

deny a file access

Visual Basic is Microsoft’s event-driven programming language and integrated development environment (IDE) for its Component Object Model (COM) programming model. It is relatively easy to learn and use because of its graphical development features and BASIC heritage. It has been replaced with VB.NET, and is very similar to VBA (Visual Basic for Applications), the programming language for the Microsoft Office product line.
