   You can only detect it open while it is open...which means you have only   
   the fleetest of intervals during which time you can find that   
   out--otherwise, as you've learned, the file _isn't_ open.   
      
   You can't prevent it unless you restrict users to an app that is   
   single-user-at-a-time aware or put the file into a version control   
   system w/ single-user checkout/login features or some similar solution.
