<blockquote type="cite">You're thinking of Microsoft Office and
SharePoint.&nbsp; It is they that enforce behaviour like the above, not
Win32.&nbsp; They also agree on private application-level mechanisms such as
"owner files" (q.v.).&nbsp; How one retrives such application-specific
information is, of course, application specific.&nbsp; With WebDAV file
locking, for example, one calls the <code>DavGetTheLockOwnerOfTheFile()</code>
function in the WebDAV API.</blockquote>

<p>Yes, I am trying to find something in Microsoft Office that will
possibly let me enumerate through each user who currently has access to
the current document.&nbsp; [...] Nobody in the Office boards knew any
"application specific" solutions,&nbsp; [...]</p>

<p>Then get them to tell you about owner files.&nbsp; Or just look up the
concept in the MS KnowledgeBase yourself.&nbsp; (-:</p>
