ReadFile function

Hi to all (and sorry for my English),

The ReadFile function opens a file in a read only mode, but if another program (like notepad) opens the same file and tries to save it, Windows does not allow it.
Anybody knows if is possible avoid this or how to perform the same in other way?

Thanks in advance.
Regards

Close the file after you have read your data.

Take a look on this code to open the file "non-exclusively":

The problem is that both programs can access the same file at the same time.
