Hello George,
I have a scanning program via vfp.

After scanning the document i make the file read only by doing the following:
###########################################
IF FILE("C:\scanned2903.tif") THEN
oFSO = CREATEOBJECT("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
oFile = oFSO.GetFile("C:\scanned2903.tif")
* Set the read-only bit.
oFile.Attributes = BITOR(oFile.Attributes, 1)
ENDIF
###########################################

And in case if i want to delete the file, It wont allow me to do that, I get a message saying "FILE IS IN USE."

Is there a way i can release the oFSO.releasefile("C:\scanned2903.tif")

Thank you very much.
