I put an FMP file on a citrix server. The task managers starts this
file once a day so it can run a script that ends with exit
applications. The file is opened with a local FMP client for this
purpose.

I recently added a script to this file. Since then, I can't open the
file any more - it says it's used by some other person or some other
program. I know it is not, I even deleted the task that regularly
starts that file, but the error message persists. It also appears when
I try to close the file.

Work around: I create a new file for the task. But how do I get rid of
this ghost file?

Pick up a utility that lets you look up open file handles etc and
search for the file name, it will lead you to the thread, process,
userid, and executable file, that has the file open.

I recommend "Process Explorer".

That helped. I remembered the "farm" utility the shows the users and
their processes on the citrix server. It showed the "administrator"
running Filemaker. Thank you.
