Hi Everyone,
I have Lotus notes 8.5.3 client installed on windows 7 OS. When i launched the lotus notes, it accesses desktop8.ndk file. I am writing a small application which copies this desktop8.ndk file to another folder. But When i try to copy the desktop8.ndk file i get error saying "This file is already locked by another process". This means Lotus notes is accessing this file and it will be locked. Is there a way i can copy this desktop8.ndk file even when lotus notes is launched and locks the desktop8.ndk file ???
Also when i do vice-versa operation, i.e. when i run my sample application first which will start copying this desktop8.ndk file (using shared read mechanism with windows API), at same time when i launch the Lotus notes client i see lotus notes client is throwing error saying : "Unable to load workspace file: desktop8.ndk". This database is currently in use by another person or process and cannot be accessed at this time. In order to share a notes database, it must be accessed via a Domino server by all users of the database. Delete the file and create a new workspace ? "

Can anyone tell me how can i allow my application and lotus notes client access the desktop8.ndk file simultaneously?? Quick help will be much appreciated. Please can anyone help me to understand what is going wrong? I believe that lotus notes client thinks that only the LN client can access this file and hence it is aborting itself if it finds somebody else accessing this file.
