CorelDraw 14 holding onto eps files

[john chisholm]

If I export a file from draw 14 as an eps file, I cannot import it into Pagemaker 7 as a message says it cannot be opened as the file is in use by another user. If I close coreldraw the same message appears.
If I reboot the pc I have no trouble importing file.
It is seems as if corel draw is somehow retaining a link to the file. I have tried opening more files to remove the original file from the most recent list but problem still occurs.
I am using 64bit vista

its possible that a file unlocker program may help here

last time this was mentioned here was:

however, proceed with caution if you do not know exactly what process is denying access

also not all may work with 64bit...

Correct unloker does not work with 64 bit Vista

Hi John,
Correct, Unlocker isn't suitable for 64bit systems.
But Lockhunter is - also Freeware


Process Explorer is also a useful tool for finding locked handles.
Not so easy to use, though and interesting tool.
