I don't think all of them are opened       files. Although I don't know for sure. I will try to find the program that       will unlock files. I currently use a program called Unlocker but I don't       think I can use that in a        batch file.              Do you have any idea why It also isn't writing out the Delete.log file?              Thanks,       Docfxit              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
