Question:

I would like to open (read) a file that is currently opened by another process. When I try a binaryreadEx I receive a 1077 error code. Is There any trick to bypass this error and to open the file (filesizeEx give me the right size, and fileexist returns 2, but the file can be opened with notepad or other editors)

Answer:

Try adding:

IntControl(39,3,0,0,0)

before the FileOpen...
