I was able to find what was locking the file, Thank you.

<div>
<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
Server A is a Windows 2008 R2 machine and server B is Windows 2003 R2 with Crystal Enterprise.<br />
I have setup a job in Crystal on server B to run every night and leave a report output file on a server A share. The next day when I look at the server A share I cannot access the file, when I try it crashes explorer. I cannot even look at the properties of the file. <br />
If I open up my computer and UNC to the server A share and create a file, I can open it from the server with no problem.<br />
OK, so I setup a batch file on server B to copy the file from a folder instead of directly out of Crystal, I still have the same issue. The file copies fine but I cannot access the file it crashes explorer. The file is a 600KB txt file nothing special.<br />
&nbsp;It seems like there is a file lock of some kind. If I restart the server I can access the file fine. If I change the setup to save to a Windows 2003 server everything works fine with an issue.<br />
<br />
What my question is, what in Windows 2008 R2 could be locking this file? <br />
