[AccessD] Checking if a file is open

Hi All,

I am importing data from Excel into Access.  The initial step in this 
process involves copying the data from the excel spreadsheet into a 
temporary copy of itself.  This step fails if the file is open.  Does 
anyone recommend a method that I could use to see if the file is already 
open (and then notify the user to shut it down?)

TIA
