Check If File Is Already Open

Aug 27, 2007

Hi,
I wrote a VB code to generate a xls file. Users are able to run it fine but if they have another file with same name already open, then it just crashes excel.
So I want to include a code that checks if file "file.xls" is open on user's machine.
If file is open, then message "file "File.xls" is already open. Generating File_1.xls"
Run the code but create the file with file name "file_1.xls"
If file doesn't exist, then run code and create file with file name "File.xls"

So basically I want the code to run and generate the file. Only difference is that if file with same name is already open, then just rename the newly created file.

Here's the code I've created for generating the file:

Public Function getrmpricing()
Dim queryoption As String
Dim ans, Msg As String
Dim fs As Object
Dim sTemplateFile As String
Dim e_TemplateFile As String
On Error Resume Next

sTemplateFile = g_dashboard & "crm proposal input.XLT"
e_TemplateFile = "C:"


If Forms!rmpricingdataform!BU = "CS" Then
MsgBox "No template available for CS!", vbOKOnly, "RM Pricing Report"
Else


Set fs = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
fs.CopyFile sTemplateFile, e_TemplateFile, True


Dim xl As New Excel.Application
xl.Workbooks.Open e_TemplateFile & "crm proposal input.XLT"


DoCmd.OutputTo acOutputQuery, "CustPricingbyRMCrosstabquery", acFormatXLS, "c:customerpricing.xls", True



Dim xs As New Excel.Application
xs.Workbooks("customerpricing").Activate
xs.ActiveWorkbook.Activate
Select Case Forms!rmpricingdataform!BU

Case "CRM"
xl.Run "'crm proposal input.XLT'!CRM_CAPSPriceTemplate.CRM_CAPSPriceTemplate"

End Select
'xs.Workbooks.CLOSE - NEWLY COMMENTED OUT
xl.Workbooks("crm proposal input.XLT").CLOSE
'xl.Workbooks("crmpricing.xls").Save - NEVER USED

'fs.DeleteFile e_TemplateFile & "crm proposal input.XLT", True - NEWLY COMMENTED OUT
Set fs = Nothing

DoCmd.CLOSE acForm, "rmpricingdataform"
Call AuditTrail("RM Pricing report", "Execute")
End If


End Function

Please advise.

How To Check If A Key Is Open?

Apr 6, 2006

Hello, all!

I've got a question that I can't find an answer to. Hopefully somebody here will know the answer.

Is there a way to check to see if a symmetric key is already open? I want to be able to check this before opening or closing a key, just like we all do when we test for the existence of an object before creating it.

Thanks a lot!

Cannot Attach Mdf: Create File Encountered Operating System Error 5 While Attempting To Open The Physical File...

Sep 5, 2006

I have used the copy database wizard, but I realized I had forgotten to shrink the transaction log file. So I canceled the wizard. My database, detached by the wizard, has now disappeared. The mdf file is still there, but when I try to attach it manually I get the "create file encountered operating system error 5 while attempting to open the physical file..." error.

Any way I can recover it?

Thanks.

Unable To Open The Physical Mdf File Or Log File Because It Is Being Used By Another Process

Dec 4, 2007


Unable to open the physical mdf file or log file because it is being used by another process

I am trying to write a Windows Application using ASP.NET 2.0, C#2005 EXPRESS, and SQL 2005 EXPRESS.

I had followed the introductory video to create a connection to the Database using Windows Authentication, and use the wizard to create a dataset and checking all the tables in the database.

After that I dragged a table from the data source created from the above process. The Details Grid so created is able to perform update, delete and addition of records.

But when I went back to the database at my PC I wasn€™t able to connect to the database. And if I opened the database first and then load the windows application and perform some database operations and went back to the physical database I wasn€™t able to open the tables in the database.

The error message is that the physical database connection cannot open the .mdf file or log file because another process is using the database. I guess it refers to the Windows Application.

Is this normal? Will it have any implications after the application is deployed? I suppose that there isn€™t a scenario where a Windows application and a physical process will access the database at the same time.

Will appreciate some feedback and advice on this scenario and whether it is a problem.

Thanks and regards

How To Open A MDF File

Jul 12, 2013

I want to start by saying I know virtually nothing about SQL Server.

I work for a website and have an old database of ours. It was exported in Sql Server 2008. It has 3 files an mdf file, a secondary data file, and a transaction log file.

When I try to attach I get an error, and the error is 5173 stating "One or more files do not match the primary file or the database." I have looked at the top 20 results for this error in a Google search and have found nothing. I just want to get in and look at some of the data, run a few basic queries.

DTS To Run Open File

Jan 16, 2004

Hi All

On the Sql Peformance Monitor, I have scheduled a log to give me memory and perfomance of my server and I store the results in .csv file every hour and it works perfect.

Here comes the problem when I make a DTS to take data from .csv to Sql, my problem is, I get this error "The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process". Basically it tells me that I have to close the file before I can run my DTS.

I dont want close this file manually and run my DTS afterwards, I want my DTS to do this automatically since I won't have access to that server when I am finished as I am going off from the clients premises when I am finished

Cannot Open .sdf File In QA3.0

Sep 8, 2007



Hi,

We are using VS 2005 with SQL Server Mobile Edition. We created the .sdf file on the desktop and added this file to our VS project and set the Build Action to content. Next we deployed our app on Symbol PDA which has Windows CE 5.0 as the OS. We followed the following steps:

1. Deploy the app.
2. Install .NET CF 2.0
3. System_SR_ENU.CAB
4. sqlce30.wce5.armv4i.CAB
5. sqlce30.dev.ENU.wce5.armv4i.CAB
6. sqlce30.repl.wce5.armv4i.CAB

We now tried to double-click the .sdf file in PDA to open in QA3 but we get error.:
Error: 0x80004005 E_FAIL
Native Error (0)
Description: Interface defining error: IID_IDBInitialize
Param. 0:0
Param. 1:0
Param. 2:0
Param. 3:
Param. 4:
Param. 5:

What could be the issue?

Because of this, we unable to run the app since in our login form, this database is not available and hence we cannot proceed.

Regards,
Vilas

Can't Open Aspnetdb.mdf File

May 21, 2008

I am fairly new to ASP.NET and MSSQL but when I run my website with memberships and roles everything seems to work perfectly!! NO PROBLEMS!! However when I try to go and actually open the ASPNETDB.MDF database file that was automatically created by VB when I added a login and sign up panel I get this Error Message
"An attempt to attach an auto-named database for file C:Documents and SettingsoxMy DocumentsMy Webs nsApp_DataASPNETDB.MDF failed. A database with the same name exists, or specified file cannot be opened, or it is located on UNC share."
I don't really know why I can't open this file. I have someone who is going to help with some extra database work but asked if I could open this database so he could see the structure of it.  I have a copy of the website as backup in another folder on my computer but even removing that backup does nothing in helping open the original. THANKS PLEASE HELP!

Open File From Report?

Jul 9, 2007

Hello,

I am trying to open a file on a network drive from a report. The file's location that I need to open is stored in the db for each record. I have tried using javascript to open a new window using the File:/// prefix. I have been able to open a new windows and navigate to a URL in this fashion by using a javascript window.open call and placing it in the navigation tab of the textbox. When I try this with a file, however, I get an access denied message. I was thinking to try opening the file by using the System.Diagnostic.Process.Start() method from code, but I'm not sure how to wire that up to the OnClick event of the textbox on the report. Does anyone have any ideas?

Ssis - Can Not Open File

Feb 4, 2008

Hi,
Using ssis, is it possible to refresh the data inside an excel file which is sitting on a separate machine (i.e. machine B) on the network?
When I try this using the importy wizard, the error message is:
The microdoft jet database engine can not open the file \pathnamedata.xls. It is already opened exclusively by another user, or you need permission to view it's data.
I have checked and the file is closed. No excel is running when checking the processes.
I have given myself full permission on that file from that machine where data.xls is sitting.
Thanks
