Paul,
Try Hyena from SystemTools http://www.systemtools.com/index.html. It's very useful, especially in a Windows environment. It can list all files open and can sort by filename or LAN ID. You can disconnect the user/multiple users or send them a msg. Also, can export to CSV file. This utility can do a lot more.
cheers, Marcus Bui

Greetings toasters!
Looking for a way to list files that are in use on the filer and who is using them. I want an output similiar to what you would see if you went into Windows Server Manager, selected the server and clicked on the "In Use" button, but I want something more user friendly than scrolling down looking for the file name. Specifically, we are having problems with users leaving files open, which prevents us from writing over them. I'm looking for a way to quickly track down who has this file open so they can be flogged, keel-hauled, then drawn and quartered. Your thoughts, please?
Remember, you are unique... just like everyone else!
