Can't select filename with FileRequest if file is in use
I'm using a FileRequest control on a dialog to select a file. Sometimes the file will be in use by another program and I'll get a message: "This file is in use. Enter a new name or close the file that's open in another program."

All I'm doing here is choosing the file name. I'm not attempting to open the file or do anything with it. All I want to do is write the file name to an ini file for later use. Is there a setting or some way to configure the dialog so that I can chose the file name even if the file is open in another program?

Thanks
