I knew those two options provided the file information, I had just run across this new tip from the Windows Platform News 1999, Issue 2

HOW TO DETERMINE WHO HAS A FILE OPEN
In Windows NT Server 3.51, you could find out who had a file open (on the file server) by going to File Manager, Properties, Open By. With Windows NT Explorer in NT 4.0, that option is no longer available. But you can still use the good old File Manager (WINFILE.EXE) in NT 4.0. To do so, create a shortcut on the server desktop. Then use the Properties, Open By method to find out who has that file open on the server.
