### Lock MS Access DB File so it cant be moved... Please help me!! ###

[BuzzLight]

Hello all, I need to know how to lock a file on the filesystem during runtime so that no body can move a file (say c:\myfile.mdb) while the program is running. Only should be locked moving wise, I still want it to be editable while the program is running.

Please help me with this... I cant find anything about this on websites.

Thankyou

Open the file but not in exclusive mode. It can't be moved but will be
editable by other processes.
