Error by doing GetLatest: Handle is invalid

Hello,

we got this Error when doing a GetLatest :

"Handle is invalid"

We were searching for the reason and finally found it. This error occurs if there is a file under source control which is exclusively used by another application.

For example:

You have an *.mdb-file opened in Access which is under source control. If you do a GetLatest now the above mentioned error occurs.

It would be nice, if there would be a better error-reportig than "handle is invalid"

We agree, although we've had reports of this error in a variety of operations.
It's somewhat generic.

We'll try to do a better job of documenting some of the causes and posting them our Vault KB forum.
