Bypassing Read/write Protections

[Thiago Alencar]

Hi,

Is it possible to overwrite a file while its being used by another program?? for example, if I try to write a file with the same name/location a word program is using I get an IOException error telling me it cant open/write on it..

Is it possible somehow to bypass this?

thnks!

As far as I know, it's not possible, unless you close the program using the file. Usually, file lock is a design-need, and not an option.
