Hi Nadya,

There is a great little shareware utility for Novell from SkySof Software (http://ic.net/~kusluski/) called FileSpy. Go to bottom of the long page to download.

You can point to any network file and it will tell you who has it locked.

>1) Do you know, what may cause it?
>2) Is there a way to find out, who locked the file?
>3) Is it possible to release lock programmatically from workstation? We have Novell server and Windows 95 as workstations.
