In another thread, Poizhan showed me how to kill any Firefox processes that might be locking the files/folders i need to move. 
    Dim oServ As Object
    Dim cProc As Variant
    Dim oProc As Object

    Set oServ = GetObject("winmgmts:")
    Set cProc = oServ.ExecQuery("Select * from Win32_Process")

            For Each oProc In cProc
                If UCase(oProc.Name) Like "*FIREFOX*" Then
                  Call oProc.Terminate
                End If
            Next
To move them i use: 
Name strOrigPath As strNewPath
where strOrigPath and strNewPath are variables that hold the proper path names.


I now find that strOrigPath can be locked up by other processes (Joy) and that my choice of arbitrarily shutting down my browser is not the best solution i could come up with (surprise).

Is there a VBA way to find out what processes are locking a folder/files so i can take those results and display them to the user, giving them the option to try to shut them down themselves?

As always, many thanks for your consideration!!!
