Since the file in question is a backend, that would give the wrong result if a user tried to log in. The application would prompt them to locate a datafile, and our help desk would get a bunch of indignant calls! I want the app to come back and tell the file file is locked exclusively so they know they can't use it right now.

Making the connection is no problem, but is it possible to make that connection entirely exclusive?
