who has the form open?

S

Occasionally my users get the "opening in read-only because somebody
has the form open" message (something like that). I'd like to get the
name of the user who has the form open (they open it from a SharePoint
library) and display it programmatically. Then they can call the
person and say "hey, close the form!". I'm using Visual Studio/VB.

Somebody posted a link to an article on a website that seems to be
related to this, but it doesn't work anymore.

Any ideas?

thanks

Forms that use SQL Web Services can do this but I do not think SharePoint
keeps who has it open except with check out.
