RE: [sqr-users] Cannot open log files in progress under Windows

["Schuster, Steven" <Sschuster@horizonnr.com>]

Sorry for the delay in answering but this can't be done. Unlike UNIX , NT
secures a file with permissions while it is being worked on. Until the
process that started the file write is completely finished with it the file
is locked at essentially the root level.

That I am aware of there is no way to view the file in any standard mode.

Thanks for the ideas Al, but neither worked.
We are pretty sure it is a permissions issue rather than an SQR issue unless
SQRW.EXE is opening the files in a locked manner.
Thanks to all who have offered suggestions.
Jim

You didn't indicate if you are using the communication box or not.  If
that is an option, just make sure you aren't using -xcb in the command
line or ini files.  If you aren't and still don't see the box, try
specifying -cb in the command line.

Another possibility is from a dos command line, use a type command.
