Cannot perform action locks file is opened in Microsoft Office Excel

• The Action cannot be performed because the file is open in another program

  I get an error after a few seconds of trying to move several files from my PC Win 7 for Mac OS Maverick, that there is a file already in the destination on Mac. This is true, but it was just put there because I copy over to the same action.  It reads 0Kb and wasn't there until I started.  Then I get an error: the Action cannot be performed because the file is open in another program.  Close the folder or file, and then try again...

  If I click on it a bunch of hold or wait, it takes about 45 seconds. I have to do with all the files, and it occurs when copying from PC to Mac.  PC-to-PC was never a problem.  I even rebooted both computers, so nothing is using all the files.  If I copy a file at a time, I get no error.

  So, I have a single file to not move, no problem.  If move 5 files, the first is fine, but it presents all 5 files in the folder at a time.  All the other files that the first show 0kb. I get the already existing for the error file, and select move and replace.  Can I get the Action cannot be performed because the file is open in another program.  I wait or click several times until it starts to move the file.  This file tells something then other than 0 kb.  When it's done, the error process starts all over.  In Mac, nobody seems to have any idea.

• A single JS script can perform actions on files I and Ps?

  I'm pretty new with the Adobe extended Script thing, but I have a good understanding of the JS language and scripts.

  -Open a pre-existing Ps file
  -import the exported .jpeg

• Why the region option buttons cannot perform action database?

  Looking at my book Easy Oracle HTML DB , page 211, the author submits a database action attribute is only available for a button in a position in the region.
  
  Is it possible to "force" a button created among the elements of the region to update the database (INSERT, UPDATE)?

  You could do a procedure customized to fire when a button is clicked. Within your procedure, you can update/delete/insert as desired.

• Why are open attachments of mail electronics outlook in microsoft office Picture Manager

  I can't view attachments outlook because they are open in microsoft office Picture Manager. All existing and current attachments have changed in the photo Manager icon.

  Hello Michelle,.

  Thanks for posting your question on the Microsoft community.

  I would like to know some information about the problem so that we can help you better.

  You made any hardware or software changes on your computer before the show?

  Thank you for details on the issue.

  This problem may occur if the correct program by default is not selected.

  I suggest you to the value of a program by default of your choice to open attachments.

  A default application is the program Windows automatically uses when you open a particular type of file, such as a song, film, photo or Web page.

  Please see this link:
  Choose the apps Windows uses by default

• After uninstalling printer Windows Installer and Microsoft Office error "this update package not could be opened"

  Original title: Windows Installer and Microsoft Office problems after you have uninstalled the printer

  I tried to install more than one printer, a HP Photosmart C4280 by downloading the drivers and updates on the HP site. I uninstalled the printer after it failed to scan a document and I had no more use for it. Then the trouble started. When I tried to open some programs (iTunes, Skype, etc.) for the first time after the uninstall of the printer, a window "Windows Installer" popped up. After you have configured Windows Installer, the program would open normally. However, when I try to open any Microsoft Office programs (Word, Excel, etc.), Windows Installer appears, but it turns into a window that reads:
  "This patch package could not be opened. Verify that the patch package exists and that you can access it, or contact the application vendor to verify that this is a valid Windows Installer update package. »

  Microsoft Office programs are open at all, and I desperately need my programs of Microsoft Office to work even faster. I would appreciate it if Windows Installer will stop trying to configure when I open a program also. Can someone help me please?

• The action cannot be completed because the file is open in Windows Explorer.

  OK, it seems to be coming a lot but no one was able to respond (including Microsoft) so I'll ask, and be as specific as possible.

  Because I work with vector art that I constantly have to save files by crush the and everything was cool with WinXP pro.  I have Win7 Pro and everything was cool, until recently.  Whenever I tried to overwrite my files, I would get an error message saying that the file was either dead or opened elsewhere, but it has happened about 50% of the time.  A launch the re-registration of files with different names.  After obtaining the files re-registered I then try to remove and rename files, but found I couldn't do it anymore, as I was constantly getting the error message "The action cannot be completed because the file is open in Windows Explorer."  Closing and reopening the browser do nothing.  Someone said if not empty the trash bin works, but not for me.  The files are on an external drive, I tried to disable the cache of writing by Device Manager and Windows Management Console (or other) frozen and took the pc with it (nice work, MS!).  Reboot seems to fix the problem for a bit, but he returned quickly and randomly.  It also seems to randomly select to lock files.  Some files I can not change, some that I can.  Others begin to operate after some time of inactivity.

  I tried to disable thumbnails in Explorer and even added a DWORD NoThumbnailCache in the registry, but it still happens.  Basically, I'll have to save all of the new files over and over again and that from time to time be able to remove the "old" while being only randomly too write others.  This question seems to be infestation Vista and Win7 and people have waited for a fix, Microsoft, but was mum on the issue.  If anyone can come up with a solution, it would be great.  It is killing my productivity!

  Common guys...
  Im having this problem too and I've been thought IE9 is at the origin of the problem, some how, I don't want to disturb...

  Here are some solutions:
  Please note that I'm looking, there is not any solution patch for this program by Microsoft, you can maintain it yourself. And correct solutions in this way losses.

  Solution 1: Use CMD.
  0 - note the following 3 steps will complete the process explorer.exe, so your desktop and windows Explorer all open files and any associated process would stop.
  1. run the Task Manager. (by pressing ctrl + shift + esc or etc)
  2 - go to the processes tab.
  3 - find "explorer.exe" and click on the button "complete the process". If you find several explorer.exe, kill them all.
  4. now, click the menu file-> new task (run...)
  5 type CMD, and then click OK.
  6. now you can do something you couldn't have done before with this user interface. Some useful commands:
  -cd: change the current directory. Use 'CD..' to the 'button' in windows Explorer.
  -dir: lists the existing file and folders in the directory current. Use ' dir/p' to the list in the pages.
  -del [file name]: removes the file [filename] existing in the current directory.
  -Rename [name of file] [new file name]: rename the file [old file name] existing or a file existing in the current directory to [new file name].

  Solution 2: Use a different file manager.
  0 - install and run another Manager file as "XYPlore".
  1 Note that the following 3 steps will end your explorer.exe process, so your desktop and windows Explorer all open records and all other related processes would cease.
  2. run the Task Manager. (by pressing ctrl + shift + esc or etc)
  3 - go to the processes tab.
  4 - find "explorer.exe" and click on the button "complete the process". If you find several explorer.exe, kill them all.
  5. use XYPlore UI and do what you want.
  Please note that the problem could happen with this kind of external explorers too. So close any file and go into a secure after your working directory.

  Solution 3: Do it yourself!
  If you can program, there are some codes that might help you. These codes which talks about Im, says MS Windows to remove your annoying pinned files just before you shut down the system.
  Here is an example:
  MoveFileEx ('C:\windows\system32\ld21E.tmp', nil, MOVEFILE_REPLACE_EXISTING or MOVEFILE_DELAY_UNTIL_REBOOT);
  This code will work correctly in Delphi from Borland compilers, and as you can see, the "ld21e.tmp" file is deleted after compiling this code and restart your windows.

  I wish I can do better, as to publish an Explorer that do what you want automatically, so I hope that these can be useful.
  Some how you can check this thread too, it may be useful:

• I get this message a lot "this action cannot be completed because the folder or file is open in another program" what he would have to open?

  Original title: OPEN IN ONE OTHER PROGRAM? __ACTION CANNOT BE COMPLETED-

  Running Windows 7 64, I get this message a lot in trying to make things happen in Windows Explorer:

  "The action cannot be completed because the folder or file is open in another program."

  He would have to open?  I tried to close all.

  Ahhh... Here's the clue. I went back to the error message just noew (about 1 minute later) and clicked on TRY AGAIN... and it worked very well.

  This leads me to believe that this is not a matter of rights (I'm admin on a stand-alone computer.

  Its not another program I have running because I has not changed anything in the delay of one minute.

  COULD IT BE SOME #@! ## @! # Indexing PROGRAM of RESEARCH that would be really cool, except that it's causing problems like this?

  All ideas are welcome.

  Hey stevecook3dw,

  Please test and see if you get the same error message when it is started in safe mode. After the test, if you do not receive the error message, you can run clean boot to test which causes this error.

  Step 1: Safe Mode

  For safe mode, see the steps in the article below.

  Start your computer in Mode safe:
  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/start-your-computer-in-safe-mode

  Step 2: Perform the clean boot

  Please see this article for detailed information on how to do it.

  How to troubleshoot a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or in Windows 7
