Get the name of the person using the file

[sthota21 (Sthota2)]

Hello,

I am having a file which is in the shared folder and can be accessible by the multiple users.
When the bot is executing and it wants to access that file it will through an exception stating “The file is being used by another user.”’

So, here in the catch block, I want to know the name of the person who is using that file.

Thank in Advance!

Not sure if this will help but,

Check the username who locks/uses a specific file

Hi folks, Is there any solution to extract the name of the user who locks/has a specific file open? With a basic try-catch, I can check if the file is editable or not, but I would need to notify the client who locks the file so they can act immediately. Thank you!

That is a vba code and can be only used for Excel. What if my file not Excel? It can be any file.
