Hi All,

I can't seem to copy a word file that is open on the target folder. I've setup VVShadow and selected both source and target. Let me know if anyone has any idea's.

Here a copy of the error message:

Starting... Ok
Copying "1.docx" (13.81KB) ... (Overwriting) ... [Can not create or replace "C:\2\1.docx". The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process.] Error.
-- Done: 0 (0) Err: 1 (13.81KB) Skipped: 0 (0) Tot: 1 (13.81KB) --
-- Average Transfer Rate: 0/Sec -- Elapsed Time: 0 sec

Thanks,

Jas

Hi, it is possible to copy an open file to another file. However, it is not possible to overwrite an open file. If an application has opened a file, it can't be overwritten, Windows does not allow that.
