I'm trying to use the AxSHDocVw.AxWebBrowser control in a form to provide a
convenient way of viewing a variety of file types. My application shows the
user a file and the user enters a set of cataloging information about the
file. I then want to move the file from its temporary location to another
folder based on the information the user has entered.

My problem is that once I open the file in the browser control, it remains
locked until I reboot the system. Even closing the application does not seem
to release the file so it can be moved. I have tried navigating to another
file and disposing the browser control without success. Any
suggestions???????

Thanks, Yuri but perhaps I was not clear in what I need to do. I have a
folder containing a number of files (.pdf, .tif, .txt) that I need to open
one at a time and display for the user. A browser does a good job of opening
the files but the .pdf files remain locked even after the browser control is
navigated to another file. What I need to understand is why this is
happening and how to release the file so it can be moved to another location
on the network.

Thanks.

I tried this operation right now & it works. There is no locks with me with
the mentioned component while pdf document is open. I can move (cope) it
etc.

I still cannot figure out what I am doing wrong. Here is the code I use to
place the file in the browser control and the code I use to try to move it.

In Sub New

stCurrentDoc = Dir(stIncomingFolder & "\*.*")
Me.DocViewer.Navigate(stIncomingFolder & "\" & stCurrentDoc)


Private Sub btSave_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArgs) Handles btSave.Click
Me.DocViewer.Navigate(stStorageStack & "\NoDocs.pdf") 'a move to
get the browser off of the current file
File.Move(stIncomingFolder & "\" & stCurrentDoc, stStorageStack &
"\" & stCurrentDoc)
' on this command, I get an exception that says the file is in use by
another process. All other files in the same folder are free to be moved or
copied.
...
End Sub

Is it possible that the Dir call is what is causing the problem?

The problem could be with MS control. Please note it is not a native
component but a shell implementation incorporated into context of managed
code. This is very baggy solution.
