FileCopy, shared filecopy

[Edwin Knoppert]

I have opened a file.
For conversion reason and speed i don't like to reopen it after validation.
I need to filecopy it while it's open.
This all works fine but the helpfiles states:
"If you attempt to copy a file that is open, an error will occur"

The file is opened shared.

Can this still be a problem?

LOCK SHARED should be Ok, as should LOCK WRITE. The default lock mode is LOCK READ WRITE, and this will certainly cause FILECOPY to fail.

Basically, the doc's are ERRing on the side of caution here...
