Hi everyone.

I'm going nuts trying to find a way to get the PID
of a locked file. Here is what I would like to do
with a code sample:

long GetPID( const char* filename )
 {
  long PID( 0 );

  // Do what ever it takes to get the process id
  // for the filename passed in, which is in an
  // locked state.

  return PID;
 }

Is this at all possible ?

My ultimate goal is to find out which application is
locking a particular file, and log the process id and
the offending application(exe) name into the database
for further analysis.

Any help appreciated.

Cheers.
Chris Val
