Making files close at a certain time
- Thread starter B@Th*nG
- Start date
I am not sure about closing only certain files, but there is a Microsoft support article that explains one way of disconnecting clients from all open files; http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290585
You could achieve the same effect by stoping and starting the Server service, too.
Edit: There is a command built into Windows from XP up called openfiles, it looks like this might be able to do what you want. Check out the syntax for it on technet; http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb490961.aspx, it mentions in the examples "openfiles.exe /disconnect /op "c:\my documents\somedoc.doc" which would imply that you can close specific files. Create a batch file with the above and then use the task scheduler to run it at whatever time you want to disconnect the clients.
