Problem in uploading word document in share point server

Asked By: Tameka Clarke Date: Jul 21, 2007 Category: Sharepoint Views: 275

I am doing an application that will watch a particular directory
/folder (FileSystemWatcher) and upload the files and folder that are
added or modified in that directory to the share point server.

Here when the word document in client machine is opened even then it
is saved in the watching directory,the file is not uploaded to the server.

Sometimes it takes ~$test.doc as the filename .Even if got the
filename test.doc as correctly,the server returns an error 'The file
is used by another process'

Can any one suggest me what the actuall problem is,Whether we can
overcome this or not.If so how to overcome.

Such a file name means that somebody has currently opened the file and
is reading it. You should let the user release the file lock before
trying to upload it.

i get this error in SPS when i try to add document to
document libarary:
=====================
This form is not available for this list, discussion
board, survey, or document library.
If this problem persists, please contact your
administrator.
======================

i check in the internet for solution but all what i
get is to delete that web part and recreated and that
is not solution.

and i read that the reson for this problem is :

======================
The issue may occur if the Upload.aspx file is deleted
from the document library.
======================

That's correct. If you tend to delete any files within the folder 'FORMS' in a
doc library you will get the below error message.

The only workaround is to move the files and recreate a new doc library and
upload it.
