Im trying to create an importing script than would make it easier for the users to import records from one file to another. Every time I try I get the error "File is locked or already in use", of course I realize it is, but I do not want them to have to close one of the files each time they import so I am looking for any advice on the matter.

Thank you

you could either use an intermediate file (export to a named 3rd file, than import from there) or import directly by script. It should work, however, without that annoying message, unless you import from the file you are importing into.
