Detect if file is in use

Is there a way to check if a file (text in this case) is in use by another program? So my macro can wait til not in use, then proceed.

Thanks.

PepsiHog. Yep! I drink LOTS of Pepsi (still..in 2024) AND enjoy programming. (That's my little piece of heaven!)

The immensity of the scope of possibilities within Macro Scheduler pushes the user beyond just macros!
