Hope that this is the correct group.

I load CSV files into TStringGrid (or TAdvStringGrid). This works great 
unless the CSV file is already opened in EXCEL. If this happens I get 
error that I can't seem to trap with try/catch.

What is the best way to verify that a CSV file is NOT already opened in 
EXCEL before attempting to open with string grid?

Thanks
Tom Woodrow
