[AccessD] A2003: Deleting Open Files on a Remote Computer

Hi team,

We have a server that remote users have access to where they can see files.

Mostly XLS, PDF, XML and a few proprietary ones too.

And of course they can open and view these files.

We regularly fill (by writing to) and empty (by deleting) the file contents
of some of these folders.

>From time to time a client may have a PDF or XLS etc. DOC open when we need
to do one of these flushes.

We see this when we manually delete the contents of a folder there may be
one or 2 that can't be deleted.

And then off we go to the Computer Management snap in to find and manually
close the file. We then delete it from the folder.

Is there some way to delete all files in a folder and then go back and do a
(brute) forced delete on the ones that didn't delete on first round?

Or is there some better logic and methodology you blokes use?

Don't be bothered about filling and deleing files opened by another user,
it's a regular thing as we update files (with the same file name) many times
per month.

Many thanks in advance.

Darren.
