Here's my $.02 US --

Could this be the directory with your Foxuser files in it? Or do you have a procedure set or a library loaded when the application loads? All of these put one or more files 'in use'

>We developed an app under VFP5.0a/Windows 95 where part of the clean up involves deleting files and directories. This works fine and dandy under the Win95 environment. However, when we go to WinNT we find a curious behavior. Almost everything deletes fine except for this one directory. It won't delete. Nor can we delete it using the explorer while the app is running. It says there is some sort of sharing violation. So it is obvious who has a lock on the directory because when we shut down the app we can then delete the directory without a snag. The directory has full read/write access to everyone in the world. Any idea's?
