how to open a file which is being used by someone else in another machine

Anusha Sridhar asked:

Hi...
My task is to generate Word documents. By selecting the appropriate options, we can generate a document. I have the base documents in the server, and if I click generate, then the document will be generated and we can save it on our local drive.

If I am using the portal now and, at the same time, if some one is using it in their machine at the same time, then the document is not getting generated. Its automatically getting posted back.

I want to show a progress bar or something like that, so that the person waits until the document is completely generated.

Is this possible using threads?
Please Help with codes,

Thanks in advance,
Anusha

Read the question carefully.
Understand that English isn't everyone's first language so be lenient of bad spelling and grammar.
If a question is poorly phrased then either ask for clarification, ignore it, or edit the question and fix the problem. Insults are not welcome.
Don't tell someone to read the manual. Chances are they have and don't get it. Provide an answer or move on to the next question.
