Would this just be a case of trying to open the file and handling the
exception intelligently? I hope not - I don't like exceptions.....

Hi Robin,

But in my opinion, this is were the exception is made for.

You have no influence on that in your program (except if the file would have
an attribute that it is busy or something and as far as I know that does not
exist).
