Owen,
Huge error in my post #4.
ERRCLEAR was missing which is required in an Open retry loop.
Might be a good test on your server by allowing multiple threads.

THREAD FUNCTION LogThread(BYVAL threadnum AS LONG) AS LONG
 LOCAL h,attempt AS LONG
 EnterCriticalSection gcs
 h = FREEFILE
 FOR attempt = 1 TO 10
  ERRCLEAR  '<-------- required
  OPEN $Logfile FOR APPEND AS #h 'exclusive lock
  IF ERR = 0 THEN EXIT FOR
  SLEEP 100
 NEXT
 IF ERR THEN
  ? "Could not open logfile in thread" + STR$(threadnum),,"ERR"+STR$(ERR)
 ELSE
  PRINT #h, USING$("&:&",TIME$,"Hello from thread"+STR$(threadnum))
 END IF
 CLOSE h
 LeaveCriticalSection gcs
END FUNCTION
